US import restrictions and tariffs also contribute to this problem… I would sell my left pinky toe to be able to buy a VW Multivan stateside. A practical 7 seater that can fit adult passengers in the third row, in a Toyota Camry-size package. Meanwhile, in the US, station wagons are completely dead, “mini”vans are nearly a foot longer than the Multivan and are larger than the fullsize cargo vans of yore, and adult-friendly 3 row SUVs are even larger than that. Automakers are basically coercing consumers into upsizing.
- ascagnel_ 4y ago> Meanwhile, in the US, station wagons are completely dead, In the US, seemingly everything but the SUV is dead. I bought a car in 2021 after having a kid, and it was either a “crossover” (SUV body on a smaller frame) or a minivan if you wanted a five-door/hatchback. I occasionally kick myself for giving up my Fiesta; that thing was wonderful in US cities.
