Yes, and it's the main reason the industry created it. They responded to what consumers were demanding. A safe vehicle in which to transport the kids which was reasonably priced. Station Wagons were classified as cars and had to be scaled back in size and weight in order to meet mandated MPG requirements. Consumers didn't want small station wagons, so they purchased larger SUV's. The rest is history as they say... The station wagon basically died and the SUV replaced it as the transport vehicle for "soccer mom".
