I'd prefer cars to be built a bit shorter and longer. It just makes more sense in my head.
I agree - that is why I said I like the VW Alltrack. It was the body of the Jetta wagon I owned with a 1 inch suspension lift and AWD.

But wagons are basically gone from the US market - I can't think of a gas powered one that sells for less than $60K. The electric Kia EV6 is nice though.
