Good News for Dog Owners - Wagons and Hatchbacks are Back!
Dog owners can expect have more choices than ever when buying a car. Station wagons and hatchbacks are back "in." Just don't expect carmakers to admit it.
After being in disfavor for more than a decade, wagons are becoming more popular because they tend to get better gas mileage than a mini-van, but still offer some cargo space. If that sounds appealing, watch for the terms "crossover sedans" and small SUVs. Rumor has it that Honda is bringing back the Accord wagon (my personal favorite), calling it the "Honda Accord Tourer."
Small hatchbacks are becoming much more common; think small, wagon-like cars, including the Honda Fit and the Nissan Versa. According to the L.A. Times (Sept. 1, 2007, Business Section, p.C3) "Many Americans want alternatives to gas-hungry sport utility vehicles that will provide more storage space than a sedan while costing less and getting better mileage than the car-based crossover utility vehicles that have hit the market in recent years."
