The other day, I noticed a new Subaru Outback in the parking lot at work as I'm leaving. I pull up next to it and check it out when I noticed something odd... It's nearly as tall as my full sized pickup truck. The wheels are big, the overall height is close to my truck, it's wide, and it has as much ground clearance as my truck.
How is this a wagon anymore?
I got to looking around a little more, and saw an XC70 in the parking lot... sure enough, it's every bit as big. It kinda looks like a wagon, but really these are both more SUV than wagon.
Then I happened to spot this on Yahoo:

I guess it's not just me. Real wagons are dying and being replaced by bigger, crossover "wagons".
*sigh*
