Bring back the station wagon. The SUV of the 70's and 80's.

Ahhh, the station wagon. A technology honed to such perfection over the decades that the engineers went stir crazy and started *inventing* problems to solve.

Should the tailgate open to the left? Or to the right? Or just swing down? Or slide down, under power, when you turn the tailgate key? Should the glass be fixed? Should it slide down into the tailgate? Or go up into the roof? Should the tailgate have glass at all?

Today, I think that most consumers would prefer to contract leprosy than to be seen in a station wagon.

Yeah, I grew up in the 60s and 70s. :-)
