The "station wagon" (estate in other countries) and smaller hatchbacks have gotten trashed by american popular culture. But americans still need them, so they replaced them with "tall" wagons, aka, the SUV/CUV, which can also be marketed as being "rugged" because "freedom" sells in america. It really is a tragedy since wagons and hatchbacks are the most practical cars.
