With American car buyers scrambling to dump their sedans in favor of crossovers, it would seem logical to assume that a desire for functionality is a driving force behind the movement.
With just three months to go in the year, Honda CR-V is the fifth best-selling passenger vehicle of 2017 (excluding pickups).

1974 Toyota Celica GT
Battered by inflation, an energy crisis, and new low-lead gasoline, the American car shoppers of 1974 really weren’t in the mood for happy advertising that promised ethereal virtues such as spirit, pride of ownership, or neighborhood one-upmanship.
