Big 3 gave people what they wanted. Instead of building strong body on frame wagons, they built SUVs which were more profitable. They offered junk low profit cars without wagon variants and forced the wagon buyers over to the SUVs. The Europeans and Japanese copied the game and that is why we have the SUV plague. Any reason a BMW can’t tow according to BMW USA when the same car can in Europe? Is there any good reason not to sell the Accord wagon in the US other than all the Honda SUVs?
Even Saabs have become weaker in regard to load ability opening a potential market for a Saab SUV which GM unfortunately filled with the 9-7x.
