No style anymore. They're all bland cookie cutter/soccer mom vehicles in my opinion.

I just recently bought this 2022 Ford Edge ST - It has a 330HP Twin Turbo V6 - Driven it about 4000 miles and so far I like it very much

LOL! While I agree M60A3Driver, you gotta remember, when style follows function, you get homogeneous looks. Don't forget the 1970s station wagons. Crossovers pretty much have replaced the station wagon in the USA except in Europe where the station wagon is relevant. Now I present the best of looks from the 70s.

1) Chevrolet Chevelle Wagon ( we had one yellow with fake wood sidewalls, 1969)
2) Mercury Colony Park Wagon
3) Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser
4) Ford LTD Country Squire

The ford and olds have the same color scheme (yech)

1970s wagons

Contrary to what CR says. Their opinions are driven by auto manufacturer's advertising money (from a reliable source)

There were some cool wagons though that had some style:
1) 1970 Plymouth Sport Suburban.
2) 1970 Dodge Coronet 440 Wagon (440 being the model number not the engine).
3) 1970 Jeep Wagoneer 4X4

I was never a big fan of the long boxy look from the 60s to the 70s. Those are good looking cars in their own way. Now the waggoneer is a great looking car with it's own look and style. They are comfortable and the forerunner of todays SUV. It's really hard to create style when form overrides function. Look at the Le Man's Race cars, they pretty much have the same homogeneous look.
