...oh i'm not giving you a hard time, especially these days when most manufacturers have discontinued cars entirely to offer only crossovers or trucks; i'm just pointing out how stupidly the market evolved over the past three decades, largely in reaction to the success of the minivan...
...what's particularly ironic is that the minivan's whirlwind success was driven by a similar backlash against station wagons, and now modern crossovers have essentially evolved into overwrought bloated wagons...
Oh I see what you're saying! Does make me wonder how long until it cycles around again (assuming vehicle opinions do cycle around over time like fashion/design language preferences tend to)
