I like station wagons. If there were no sport utilities or minivans, stations wagons would have to do the job.
Station wagons are basically sport utilities built on a full-size car chassis.
And they precedes the ubiquitous sport utes by scores of decades. When our family was beginning to grow, a full-sized station wagon served us well. That grew into a van and we got piggy after that. Our tester this week is the Mercury Sable LS wagon. It's probably, along with the Ford Taurus wagon, one of the more stylistic wagons on the highway.
