Of course, when gas prices start rising again, some manufacturers may be caught with their pants down if SUV sales stagnate.

Not all current mid-size sedans have a swoopy rear roof line. Neither the current Accord nor the current (facelifted) Camry have a swoopy rear roof. So there are choices. But can you see people NOT buying a Ford (swoopy Fusion) or a Hyundai (swoopy Sonata) or a Chevrolet (swoopy Malibu) because they don't like the 4-door coupe styling? Some people would not be caught dead driving a Honda or a Toyota.

Well, sedan sales are already suffering from the increased popularity of SUVs. In fact, some sedans are being dropped entirely to make plant-space for ever-more SUV production. Obviously, that won't happen with a sedan as wildly popular as the Accord, but the SUV stampede just keeps picking up steam.

I'm 6' tall. Statistically in the US, I'm taller than 86% of adult men. I have a pretty short inseam for a 6' tall man too, which means I have a longer torso which would make getting in and out of a low rooflined sedan harder.
I also would question how big an issue access to the rear seat for adults is for most buyers. How often do adults ride in the back seat of your car? For me its a pretty rare occasion, and I occasionally drive people around as a part of my job.
