But due to the sharp rise in popularity of the RV&SUV since 1990, the sedans presence has lost its former strength. Nevertheless, the sedan has recently shown some signs of making a comeback. In the light of this, we are asking the question, "What is the shape (including both concept and styling) of the sedan in the 21st century?"
