I would throw in that because so many of our roads are crappy the Crossover with higher ground clearance has become the current station wagon.

Look at the wagons that are sold here in any numbers: the Subaru Outback, the Audi All Road, the Volvo Cross Country... all raised to some extent.

Yeah at half the MPGs. :nchantr

It sucks there are no cool affordable wagons anymore. I'd love an older model Volvo V70R.

The reasons I've heard for the popularity of crossovers was not so much to "see" rather to "be seen." I prefer wagons but I understand this line of thinking when there are so many (nearly) three ton family vehicles on the road.



Back on topic: These XK 120 racers. (drool)

If you forget that the Minivan was the direct successor to the Station Wagon. Wagons went out of vogue because Detroit felt the need to add fake wood paneling to the side and convinced Moms everywhere that's what they wanted. except nobody wanted them. Minivans was the stake through the heart.

Minivans are still the choice of Moms.
4 Door trucks for Dad.
 
The vast majority of moms I see are driving mid or full sized SUVs

I agree. I think any mom that's driving a minivan is doing so because their husband said that's what they can afford, as cold as that sounds. I have 5 females in my family, moms and soon to be moms, and none of them would be caught dead in a minivan. They're buying used SUVs for more than new minivans :laughing

I personally plan on buying the new Chrysler Pacifica (minivan) once I buy a new house. The minivan checks off 9/10 of the boxes for me. It's purely a decision based on function. If it were really up to me, I'd be buying this rig below....but gas would suck, can't park it, no parking garages etc and the limited time I'd 4 wheel it wouldn't makes sense.

Yea, i saw an alfa 33 in Emeryville at an exotic showroom a few years ago. It gave me goosebumps. Top 10 best shapes ever, maybe top 5. I think to say its ugly means you've never seen one, or probably perfer the look of modern minivans. Or both.

:laughing
 
For more realism shouldn't that video game show crowds of Italians blowing up lawn mower engines on on the hill sides of Mugello?
