I miss my station wagonβ¦ I had a 99 Cutlass Ciera and it was the best car in the world right up until the transmission finally died π
Station wagons rock. My wife is an SUV type. I told her that her style is trash. If they ever bring back the Camry or Accord wagon, Iβm so buying one.
whats up with that.
does everyone really want a huge suv instead or are we being gaslighted.
Thatβs all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesnβt even make a car in the US anymore, except the Mustang. The Fiesta and Focus are just gone. They really tarnished the 3rd gen Focus name with that DCT. But trucks and SUVs just make them more money. There are only three choices of minivan here (Odyssey, Sienna, and Carnival) and if you want a wagon, you can buy a Volvo V60. But Iβve never seen one in the wild. Maybe the German luxury brands also sell a wagon here, but if they do, I have no idea they exist. Most of the time, when I see a wagon, itβs 20+ years old.
The US also has this fear culture thatβs been going on at least since the 90s when SUVs really started to take off. I gotta be bigger because bigger is safer. That might be true when you run a red and cream a family of 4 in a Corolla, but most accidents involve a single car, and large trucks and SUVs are horrendous when theyβre the only vehicle involved.
I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.
That thing was choice.
I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
I wish there were more out there being made.
Now Iβm driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.
