Crossovers

Can some explain to me why crossovers are so popular?

Better to get into and out of than regular cars for old people. Higher seating increases visibility over traffic and therefore perceived safety. Bulky appearance reinforced perceived safety.

For whatever silly reason people really enjoy sitting high. I'm 99% sure that's the one and only reason why most people buy SUVs, crossovers and to a lesser extent pickups as well.

cause idiots?
cause females think its safe cause size?
cause no fucking company makes a half decent size wagon that is affordable like they did once upon a time?

i.e Falcon, Commodore, Country Squire, Vista Cruiser and so on n so forth.

>like they did once upon a time?
Blame federal legislation on fuel economy and crash safety that classes SUVs as trucks and gives them immense lenience on the aforementioned restrictions, actually making them the cheaper and more practical choice. If there were fuel economy mandates by curb weight or something, and trucks and SUVs had to comply to the same crash standards as passenger cars, wagons would suddenly make sense again.

Golf wagon, thats the only affordable wagon thats sold in the states afaik.

Also crossovers DO have more space inside, but 80% of the population would be served just fine with the space a wagon gives.

>Opposite of truth troll
Literally everything you said is wrong.
But you knew that

okay, it's not bad to sit a bit higher. but driving it feels so buttery, like you're entirely detached from the road. not liking it. they used to have an A6 station wagon which was pretty nice. cheaper, more space, better mileage, nice diesel at some 239 hp or whatever. i miss it.
