Sedans died years ago - pretty impractical body type. The only advantage over SW is a perceived "prestige".
It's all the exact same chassis, drive, suspension, pretty much you name it except the doors and body style. So that's not quite true...
What does that even mean? If you meant built on a frame, then sorry, but that's not in the SUVs DNA.

Not sure where are you located - cars are doing great.
It depends on the SUV. Part of the problem with online conversations about SUVs is that SUVs are a broad category and everyone fixates on whichever extreme of that broad category supports one's point the best. Hence: SUVs allegedly being big and bulky (i.e. describing the full-size SUV end of the spectrum) while simultaneously having small interiors and only two rows of seating (i.e. describing the CUV end of the spectrum).
Same deal here. It doesn't take an expert in automotive design to recognize that (using Toyota as an example) the 4-Runner, Highlander, and RAV-4 all fall in very different spots on the "Tacoma v. Camry" structural design spectrum.
