Good point, it is peculiar how trucks and SUVs are celebrated as practical haulers while a lot of people reject out of hand station wagons and especially minivans, even though they are as good or better at a lot of those practical applications.
Having a good station wagon with ample cargo space is in some ways a better option than a SUV, but finding them can be a challenge. They are relatively rare on roads and in dealer lots.

On that note, I rented a Chevrolet Impala in Vancouver recently... it was a fairly high trim level as it had a lot of options. I was completely impressed with it and I don't think it was in any way lacking compared to a Honda or Toyota. Not that I am looking to cars for excitement, but some of the dullest cars I've driven were Asian models. I remember renting a base model Mitsubishi Galant a few years ago... I swear, if Loblaws made a No Name car that came to you in a big yellow box labelled "Car", that would have been it.
