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, I'm so buying one.
Honda cross tours are almost wagons.
That's all they want to sell is trucks and SUVs. Ford doesn't 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 I've 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, it's 20+ years old.
The US also has this fear culture that's 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 they're the only vehicle involved.
