I see the light!
I’m ashamed to admit that I haven’t always liked station wagons.
In fact, I kind of hated them. To my younger self, wagons seemed so
uncool and so old-fashioned that I figured you only bought one if
you valued practicality over everything else. Maybe I thought this


way because my Pop drove one? In any case, I’ve since seen the
light. Wagons, especially fast ones, offer such a convincing blend
of performance, looks and, yes, practicality that I find myself
wondering why anyone would ever buy an SUV instead.
