Just like all the big-*** mall crawlers we see.

I've said this before but I love the old GM station wagons the nice ones, I'd drive this around happily... Like I said that was a legit car back then-- decent alloys, auto a/c, auto lights (just usual 80s GM luxury stuff) and a power antenna. Here's the Adventures in Babysitting one..

Yep, lol. It had a 5.0L V8, I think a low 155hp but it did have I think 255lb-ft of torque. For the time it was adequate. Probably felt fine bc of the torque.

Look how nice this one is, this has leather. It has most Cadillac luxuries.

Tall wagon. It's got the little turbo so it's just this side of fast enough. Stuck a beefier Whiteline RSB on it, handles pretty well now.

because they should have bought an suv.

wagons are a solution looking for a problem that's already better solved with an suv.

Haha, wagons are just rare now, so they are cool. Back in the 80ies and 90ies the woody wagons were all over the place, and they were anything but cool. Then they got replaced with minivans and SUVs.
