So then, the market for passenger cars, ordinary four door sedans, whatever the technical term for those vehicles is, that market will be filled by Nissan, Toyota, Hyundai, etc???

No, they will have to follow. The marketplace right now is about "room" and "your stuff". CUV's / SUV's fill that niche as well as up high enough to see things. Funny thing is the CUV is car that is tall and maybe a raised running gear. Their is no aero /handling penalty for the larger platform. From the manufacturers perspective, the run/sales rates have to at a certain number or they are not making money. Consumer choices are what they are, look at the car types that consumer has said bye bye too: stationwagons, personal luxury, mini-vans etc. This trend will have legs for how long? I have no idea, however it is what the consumer and or those who follow them see the market at. BTW and interesting snapshot of Tall/Stuff/Room is the 4 Door CJ vs the 2 door and how many more they sold, that is kind of this whole discussion in a nutshell.
