I see. I’m confused by this too. When I was young vans were popular and station wagons were definitely more prominent. Vans fell out of popularity presumably because they were built on a truck chassis. Minivans drove better. Station wagons also fell out of favor. I guess because they were too family truckster.
So what happens? SUVs become popular which are basically station wagons built on a truck chassis. Go figure.
Idk if it’s still on but at some point in Poland people were installing grates in the back of front seats because it legally made the car (even something like Daewoo Tico) into a truck which allowed tax benefits.
But few people but a car based on emissions, so why then did SUVs become popular? Or is it the case of manufacturers wanted us to like SUVs, so they made that happen.
People don’t buy cars based on emissions. Car makers make them based on emissions because lower requirements are easier to meet while including things people do want.
Literally cooking the planet for next quarters metrics.

Station wagons were subject to sedan emissions standards. SUVs wer subject to truck emission standards.

I think we’re saying the same thing.
