How the heck did we get here? Most best selling "cars" are now superzied pickups and SUVs. (www.caranddriver.com)

And I hate their blue-rich eye searing headlights to.

There are like 2 station wagons on the US market. I'd love one, but I'm not into VWs and the Volvo PHEV wagon is only available as a $75,000 performance wagon and no one makes an EV wagon.

    The Audi A6, Mercedes E class and VW Passat are available I believe. I have seen A6es and E classes in the USA.

    The Passat is discontinued in the US and I don't think they ever had a wagon version of it here. Not recently at least.

    The newest Passats I’ve seen in Canada are mk5s I think (2005-2010 or something like that). Most common is the previous gens, which is not common at all.

    It’s much, much easier to find and afford a small SUV/crossover than a station wagon body style in North America.

    The Kia Niro and the Hyundai Kona are both basically station wagons and they have EV models.

    Not really, they're closer to hatchbacks. I also won't trust Kia anymore. They got better for a while and then suddenly got much worse.

    I hardly ever see a real station wagon in the US anymore. For whatever reason they just stopped selling them here.
