Because Detroit have done their business so lousy for decades that they've lost the passenger car market to foreign competition, so in order to save themselves they've banded together with the federal government, created favorable legislation for pickup trucks with cargo hatches, and convinced the public that it's impossible to live suburban life without a four wheel drive SUV.

No idea why American's don't like wagons.

A Magnum SRT/8 is a pretty car to look at. Interior is crap, and I wouldn't own one again, but it did turn heads.

I like and have owned a few E39 and E61 wagons, and am working on picking up a 2003 Passat W8 wagon.

Yes, I'm aware of the W8 problems. I have a spare longblock and transmission in storage already.

Automakers don't want to sell wagons in the US since they count as "cars" and so have tighter fuel economy regulations, whereas if they just jack them up a bit they're "trucks" and are more loosely regulated.

Yes. Handling, and fuel economy.

Because it's not a fuckbarge like SUV's are, it can make better use of available torque and wastes less fuel

Because it's not a topheavy fuckbarge, it handles better and is much less likely to roll over

If you need to haul people or may need lots of space more often than not, a Minivan is perfect for what you need as it's designed to be roadgoing instead of being a topheavy memebarge

If you need a vehicle that can get good mileage while still being practical enough to carry 4 people and cargo or 2 people and lots of cargo, but still being as economic and the width and height of a sedan, the wagon is king.

What are modern SUV's good at? Maybe cargo space and towing, but they fail at everything else.

And no, I'm not European, I'm as American as can be, I just really hate what the SUV has become.

Handling probably isn't the best word here, but roadholding, road feel, steering feel, responsiveness, lower center of gravity, less likelihood of tipping, etc. are all major factors that contribute to a safer (objective) and better (subjective) driving experience.

The 240 is insane when it comes to space. I had a 1992 and I work as a courier delivering lost luggage out of my city's airport. With all the seats fold down I was able to cram 12 full size suitcases in the back and buckle another one in the passenger seat. I loved that car.

Timing chains and timing belts are simply two different ways of linking the crankshaft and camshaft(s) together to keep them in time. With chains they last the life of the engine, usually, but if they fail it's a bigger pain in the ass to change them. Belts have to be changed every 100k or so but are lighter and less complicated. Belts are also much quieter than chains.
>>
>>14682917
keep in mind "lifetime of the engine" can also mean different things to different manufacturers
it seems like most german manufacturers these days don't care about anything past 100k

Because to the generation ahead of mine they were effectively mini vans. Now to my generation they're fine because they've been replaced by the crossover segment, the new mom car. No, seriously google mom car and see what comes up.
But because of the stupid cafe laws we'll never get them back, because suvs are more cost effective to produce because they can be classified as a light truck and not a car that has stricter fuel economy regulation. In the end even Subaru gave up and turned the venerable legacy outback into a fucking suv
