Case in point: the bog-standard station-wagon in that picture. Even the marketing dickheads realise they need a pretty girl in the picture to make it look remotely interesting.

... the fact that you just called an SUV a station wagon and, like, you're not wrong, just made me super depressed. I drive a Mini and have since I started driving. In the beginning, I had the smallest car around. Now, I usually have the only car around.

It was tongue in cheek, but that's pretty much what they are. At least here in Australia there's still quite a few smaller cars around, but even new 'small cars' are getting pretty big.
