It seems a little gimmicky to not call what looks like a sedan something else. To say that sedans are no longer desirable is a little disingenuous if you really think CUVs are that much different.
You could say the same for a Hyundai Kona or a Mercedes GLA, yet they are still classified as CUV and they have CUV utility (high roof design, tailgate). This blurring of classification lines jumped the rails when the PT Cruiser and the Chevrolet HHR (both designed by the same guy, btw) were both classified as trucks. But at the end of the day, facts don’t lie. RAV4 outsells Camry and Corolla. By a lot and the gap is growing. CR-V outsells Accord and Civic. By a lot and the gap is growing. They are more clear examples of what a CUV is and they outsell the sedans they share showroom floor with.
