The EPA essentially banned station wagons and people realized you can have spacious, often luxurious, vehicles for their children and whatever shit they're carrying. I prefer mid-sized sedans, but I only have dogs.
Wait, they banned estate cars? Iโve rented them at various points over the last ten years in the US, what exactly was banned about them?
This has some pretty good info on both. CAFE standards have perverse incentives (who could have guessed).
