Why the shortage of 4 Door Cars?

When Polish's SUV hit the DAZ store last year, I breathed a sigh of relief.  (Or maybe I jumped for joy.  Or both.  I definitely remember letting out a yippee!) Finally, a modern four door vehicle to play with!  Sure, it's a hatchback and not a regular sedan, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

For too long, 90 percent or more of the cars on DAZ are two-door, and I'm wondering why.  Most wearables are made for females because that's what drives most sales on DAZ. Do 4 door vehicles generate fewer sales than 2-door jobs at DAZ, and that's why most PAs don't believe it's worth the time and extra effort?

    It is not that 90% of cars are 2 door, as 90% of 3D models of cars are sports cars (ie super cars), and most of those are 2 door. I guess we are supposed to be rendering wealthy people only.

    Well, in real life I drive a 2-door econocar, so you don't have to be rich to drive a 2-door, but I guess it helps with some of the sporty models sold here.  LOL

    You can find a multitude of free real-world vehicle models here:  http://www.dmi-3d.net/

    Plenty of 4-door sedans and others.  Most aren't rigged (simple OBJ or similar format) but a little work can be done to fix that if you need it.

    Fully rigged models (so they have working doors at least) of 4 door vehicles are probably two times the work of a 2 door version of the same basic shape. And if I remeber correctly, there often were two door and four door variants of the same car sold probably 25 to 30 years ago, at least here in the US.

    Probably Crypto-Miners.

    Two door sports cars, like women's clothing, are sexier.

    So you're saying we should aim for the no-doors car instead? (Seriously. That car ain't got no visible doors! How's a villain to properly villain if he can't quickly get in or out of the car?)

    Dick Dastardly is so incompetent, he couldn't villain properly in a limousine.

    And with adding the Deux Chevaux (https://www.daz3d.com/teuf-teuf) - which in germany was either called Ente (Duck) or Döschwö (which is how deux chevaux sounds for germans) - we can see there is an enormous amount of 4-door cars.

    Well, there IS that glass cupola which probably will just open up to let the driver in... no need for something stupid as doors, when you can have a moving glass cupola, right?
