People want room. US emissions standards push manufacturers to turn bigger vehicles into trucks.

CAFE is weirdly anti wagon.

New Volvo V60 looks pretty nice, and has a plugin hybrid option too, if that's your thing.

This.

BTW, fellow wagon connoisseur... Have you seen the 2018 Porsche Panamera wagon?

And the Panamera can tow a boat (seriously, IIRC, the euro model can tow a few thousand pounds - US car isn't rated because lawyers).

Porsche used to be cool looking beautiful vehicles for whatever time periods. They really went downhill when they released the Cheyenne.

The Cayenne and Macan are their best selling vehicles and largely credited with keeping the company in business.

Macan turbo is a cool looking car. But I also have an extremely low opinion about people who decide to purchase a performance sports car brand, and then pick the SUV model.

The Cayenne is ugly and it's a rare sight to see one driven by a responsible driver. The only reason I can anecdotally say that is because they are ugly and stick out like a sore thumb. It actually was memorable when I saw one using a turn signal and obeying the speed limit. It was like seeing a unicorn.
