When the average consumer went looking for a larger vehicle, the Suburban was about all there was unless you went to an SUV or pick-up truck.
When the effort was on to get rid of the big full sized cars, they managed to do that, but the buyers simply moved into trucks.
SUV's are beginning to look more and more like stationwagons, and that goes for the mini van (are they really mini?) when it started coming with four doors and a rear hatch it began to look like a stationwagon that's been shortened and made taller.
Now that we see the newest Impalas starting to look like those big old Buicks in size, will it be long before we get our full sized stationwagon back? I hope so, my '85 GM wagon is still going, and I hope it will hang on till that day. I just hope they don't continue with those stupid plastic wrap around bumpers.
