You would not have windows open, and you would probably have them in cigar
boxes, shoe boxes, and lots of old Amazon delivery boxes.
But, there is another problem.
None of the auto makers still make "Station Wagon"s!
In 2012, I walked into the Toyota dealer, with checkbook in hand, and
said, "I want to buy a Prius Station Wagon".
The salesman said, "We don't have any station wagons."
So, I turned and headed towards the door.
He ran after me, and said, "but, we have this, which is kind of like a
mini SUV.", and pointed to a Prius V ("Prius Alpha in other markets).
It sure looked like a station wagon to me, and I bought it.
They now have some "crossovers", that look like station wagons.
And, of course, modern SUVs no longer look like jeeps, they look like a
macho station wagon.
