I'm not ignorant of them but there simply aren't that many wagon options on the market new or used and peak MPG isn't the only metric for purchasing a vehicle.

Your post seemed pretty ignorant of other choices besides SUVs and trucks. Mercedes has 6 station wagons/shooting brakes, VW has 4, BMW has 4, Toyota has 5, Hyundai has 4, Kia has 3, Honda got 5 every big car manufacture has at least 3 station wagons in their portfolio. I know there are more SUVs because of the SUV hype in the last years but stating that there are no options on the market is just not true.

Okay, and now go to each of these manufacturer's US websites and check how many are available in the US.

Also, consider that Mercedes and BMW only offer luxury models at luxury prices in the US.

I literally did not make the claim that no wagon options exist anywhere in what I wrote. What are you even arguing here? Why even make that strawman?

I compared SUVs to sedans and trucks because those are more available by volume by a long shot when purchasing, and most wagons actually fail to meet most of the utility criteria I listed, and those that do are designed far more like a low-clearance SUVs than as a "wagonized" version of a base sedan model.

Enjoy your day and whatever agenda it is that you're pushing. Goodbye.

You left the most popular utility car option out of your reasoning there is no agenda at all. In the international market the station wagon is still first as utility vehicle and it is on the rise in the US as well. I don't know why you get so agetated about it.
