The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier.

    Wagons and minivans - which are great substitutes for SUVs - have a negative stigma because everybody’s parents had one and people don’t want to feel old.

    Hopefully the same thing will happen to SUVs.

      You’re probably right but wagons can be cool now.

        The Mercedes looks tolerable, although it wouldn’t be the car I would choose for that price. The Audi is downright hideous. I would rather pay half as much to get both a Miata for when I want to have fun and a truck for when I need the cargo space.

        Can’t really claim better efficiency at that point

          Still more efficient than the same thing in boxy SUV form.

          I was talking to someone last year and doing 100mph in a 5.0 V8 Mustang he was getting better mpg than 70mph in a Kia Soul (about 25). Make an aerodynamic wagon and you’re golden.

      Huh my parents had a Bronco, don’t like that style. Also had a minivan, very good vehicle that I would get for family life.
