Problem is marketing. The SUV's have replaced the StationWagon. If htere was a full size wagon available I'd buy it. Sadly the closest thing to what I would want is a Benz, too rich for my blood. Seroiusly look at most of the beasts, lower them and you have a wagon. Interior feels like a car and not like a tincan minivan.
