    I’ve been thinking about replacing my 2005 car but the only thing I want to replace it with is an electric station wagon, of which Europe has several options and America has 0. I don’t want a compact SUV, I just want a wagon! I’ll probably leave the country before I have any options lol

      Station wagons are for mommies in the 1980s; all the cool kids want SUV and pickups.

      So car manufacturers made station wagons with upright seating positions and “off road” styling and called them Crossovers.

        Yeah, my car I always though was a hatchback, but apparently is actually classified as a crossover. The main reason I still have it (other than having been paid off) is because it still gets competitive mpg and it’s so practical. I used it to take all my crap to and from college. I can carry 9ft lumber in the cabin with the passenger seat down. I’ve gone on a service road in a state park and I didn’t get stuck.

        The thought has crossed my mind to get an electric conversion for it instead of buying a new spyware riddled car 😆
