These Niche Automotive Micro-Segments Are Overdue For A Comeback, According To Our Readers - Jalopnik

Jalopnik’s readers were asked which “niche” micro-segments in automotive are overdue for a comeback, and the response leaned toward smaller, unusual product ideas rather than mainstream bets. The piece revisits the question after a prior prompt, noting that while the author hoped for a revival of convertible pickup trucks, readers didn’t strongly align with that suggestion. Instead, the discussion generated a wider set of alternatives, and the article suggests that if automakers were willing to test enough of these niche categories, at least one could find enough buyers to succeed. The post then moves into a look at the most popular reader answers.
