I would love a station wagon, but not many of those around where I live 🙃

Apparently these things are what they are calling station wagons these days.

Lmao what? These are practically SUV's

Fr, I would call every single one of those a "crossover" before I called them station wagons.

That Volvo v60 is the closest thing to a modern station wagon. If it doesn't have 3 big side windows from front to back, it shouldn't be called a station wagon.

Fucking hell the size inflation is too real. Toyota Auris and Hyundai i30 are good ones for anybody looking.

The Volvo isn't too bad, but yeah it's weird how big they got on the outside, while at the same time seemingly having less storage inside.
