Unofficial Observation

It seems that the Germans are using more station wagons now than years ago. Like we embraced the station wagon in the 1950's.

And I always thought that the Europeans were futuristic on car models.

Are we going to see the SUV, Cross-over, Mini-van usage decrease in the US?

I have not seen many options lately for what I would call a "Station wagon". Mainly just various configurations of SUV. I don't think SUV's are going anywhere in the near future.

EDIT... I did just do a quick search for "Station Wagon" and a bunch came up. That being said,... Does a short, long sports car qualify as a "Station Wagon" when looking at Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, or Volvo??

Seems more like they are just emphasizing the "Sport" in Sport Utility Vehicle!

Well, there was a "Magnum" once.

The station wagon died with the gas crisis and gas guzzlers, but people/families still needed a big car. BUT, Detroit wasn't building so people bought vans and converted them. Then, along came the minivan to the rescue and replaced the SW. And now I don't know what the hell they're called? The more things change, the more they stay the same!

I like wagons
especially 2 dr wagons
I'd like to see them make a comeback here, too...
I don't have the need for one (anymore), but I still like them

I do like the Durango's & Grand Cherokee's
'sort of' a SUV/Wagon hybrid
especially the SRT, Hemi versions

The modern SUV is simply a station wagon on a truck platform.

The CUV is a wagon on a FWD platform.

Simple.

Mini van is different as there is a pass-through walkway from front to back.

Americans finally figured out that what they really need is a station wagon, after decades of shunning them and poking fun.

I would like to see the latest Challenger as a 2 door SW.
I could be persuaded to buy one.
