    • It is quite sad.  But it is a story long in the making. Decades in the making.  One reason would be of the downsizing of vehicles back in the 1970s. Another would be CAFE and the omission to include trucks in the strict CAFE emissions requirements as they did with cars.    Yada yada yada...    I am quite accepting of this reality.  I have no (individual) power to reverse the SUV/CUV  trend as the choice of transportation.  The masses have spoken and continue to speak that they want this brand of vehicle as their daily driver needs.  Therefore, I have but no choice and to accept this reality.    But in the Canadian market, there is a small but happy moment for sedan options.  In the EV sector.  I do not know what Chinese EVs we will be getting shortly, and if Chinese marketers are smart, they would be offering MORE of their SUVs/CUVs than they will be their sedans, because Canadians too, are on this SUV/CUV train,  but they would also be smart if they would offer their best (affordable) sedans to compete directly with Tesla sedans (models 3 and S) to see what Canadians really want to buy.  Because the Model 3, in Canada, is a good seller bucking SUV/CUV sales trends. Therefore, in my market, the Canadian market, thanks to donald, I, Canadians,  will probably be getting slightly more sedan options than what we have now in the very near future.  Like sometime in 2026 before the year is up. 
    • Isn't it sad? You now have as many mid-size family sedan choices as you have minivan choices (not counting EV sedans). Camry - Accord - Sonata - K5 Sienna - Odyssey - Pacifica - Carnival
    • When I need a little something to lift me up a little I watch this.
    • Thank you very much.  I knew you'd chime in.  It has borrowed some 25 GB ... that I want back!  I'll make myself a cup of hot tea this week when I hope to be more relaxed and do this.
    • Yes, that is true that Windows upgrade uses the space to make all the changes, but it should release it fairly soon. You can go in and do some house cleaning: Free Up Space on the Current Drive Open File Explorer, right-click the 😄 drive, and select Properties. Click Disk Cleanup and select files to delete, such as temporary files and old system updates. Click OK to proceed. Open Command Prompt as an administrator and run powercfg.exe -h off to disable hibernation and free up space. Move large files or folders (e.g., Documents, Downloads, Pictures) to another drive: Right-click the folder, select Properties, go to the Location tab, and click Move. Uninstall unnecessary apps via Settings > Apps > Installed apps. Also check out this as this covers what most other articles also state about cleaning up and freeing up space after a Win11 upgrade. How to reclaim space after upgrading Windows 11 to newer version
