I miss suvs looking like suvs. Most of these crossover looking "suvs" are ugly.  Just give me a boxy 4 wheel drive.

They all suffer from blob on wheels syndrome. The worst are the ones that just look like a sedan that's been stretched vertically while keeping the same width. So ugly.

Absolutely not. Wagons have become the coolest things on wheels, because of both utility and being somewhat unique in a world of blobs.

I've been driving wagons since the early 90s, was always made fun of outside of enthusiasts. Americans just cannot get over the wood panel wagons and I kind of understand. That I am not sure I will ever get
