Wagons and minivans - which are great substitutes for SUVs - have a negative stigma because everybody’s parents had one and people don’t want to feel old.

Hopefully the same thing will happen to SUVs.

No need to convince me, I love my v60

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

wagons can be cool now.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

The Mercedes looks tolerable, although it wouldn't be the car I would choose for that price. The Audi is downright hideous. I would rather pay half as much to get both a Miata for when I want to have fun and a truck for when I need the cargo space.

Can't really claim better efficiency at that point

Still more efficient than the same thing in boxy SUV form.

I was talking to someone last year and doing 100mph in a 5.0 V8 Mustang he was getting better mpg than 70mph in a Kia Soul (about 25). Make an aerodynamic wagon and you're golden.

Anything's cool I'm the 100k plus grouping...

Huh my parents had a Bronco, don't like that style. Also had a minivan, very good vehicle that I would get for family life.
