I had a really hard time even finding a new car that isn't classified as a SUV

This trend fucking sucks, but it seems that there are currently not many options on the market besides oversized und bulky SUVs

Exactliy! I am more than willing to trade in my aging station wagon for a comparable EV or hybrid, but there are hardly any models available. The few ones that are, are fucking expensive.

I bought a Merc the other day pretty cheap because it wasn't an SUV. If I was to go with the same volume, engine and trim package on the same age Merc we'd be talking 30k+ on top of what I paid.
