For the market to go away the 16-30 passenger buses built on the cutaway need to be replaced by another center-aisle solution: enlarged vans like the Sprinter Minibus, or a true minibus like the Toyota Coaster. Both of these are built at about 11,000 pounds, a ton and a half lighter than the coaches we currently use in this size class
There are others that are much heavier, that are based on Light Japanese Trucks.(27,000lb GCVWR) The Toyota is a "Coaster" fairly lightweight. You can get ones based on Hino , Mitsubishi, Isuzu Buses , that have roughly 7-8 Litre engines. No shortage of European bases, IVECO,MAN, SCANIA etc
