    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.

        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.

          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.

      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.
