And SUVs are indeed well-placed in that area: they tend to have lots of "soft" metal over a relatively small engine.
I also read that end-of-sale might be linked to absence of automatic emergency braking on manual cars, but I'm not so sure about that one.

Maybe next gen 86 will be mid-engine then?
