You can tow with a car or a station wagon just fine. Actually that's what families used for towing when the actual trucks were used in farms before the stupid CAFE standard in the US kicked in.
There are no station wagons anymore. I'd love one.
Wdym? There are Toyota(Corolla), Honda (Accord), BMW, Merc, Volvo, Audi, Subaru, MG and even Porsche station wagons in 2024. Where do you live? They are definitely available in the global and European markets.
Also you don't need a station wagon for towing either. A car with a decent engine and breaks will achieve the same.
USA. SUVs, minivans, or small hatchbacks exist but the long, low, 8-seat station wagon no longer exists.
I don't know what you're calling a station wagon, but it's a rename of something that ain't a station wagon.
