As minivans and later S.U.V.’s grew in popularity, the full-size American station wagon almost disappeared. General Motors built the last of its full-size wagons in 1996; Ford later dropped the Taurus and Mercury Sable wagons. European automakers - whose home markets were never swept up in the S.U.V. craze - continued to develop wagons that combined style and utility, perhaps planting the seeds for a resurgence.
