"Sans some stylistic differences, they are functionally the same thing."
You can't raise the whole vehicle several inches (although crossovers have weirdly low ground clearance) without affecting the handling. Modern wagons corner like modern cars, not like minivans.

- _archon_ 5y agoModern vehicles of similar weight to an old wagon have better suspension components, wider wheels and tires, and most importantly better tires. A modern refresh will have an old wagon cornering just as well, if not better than a "crossover". The modern crossover/compact SUV trend is worthy of nothing kinder than active contempt.
