One of the US trends that we did pick up (pun intended) was the MPV - i.e. Iacoca's Chrysler Voyager, but downsized to fit Europe.
Those are some of the most efficient multi-purpose vehicles, with not too many big drawbacks regarding MPG - well, if you leave out the car that started it all
More practical than even the estates / breaks and hardly consuming more fuel.
And, unfortunately, the SUV-trend, even if that too often gets downsized.
