The Dodge Magnum may not have been the prettiest wagon, nor maybe even the most reliable, but it offered the space and ride comfort everyone was looking for. Not only that but Dodge decided to throw in the V8 Hemi engine and give it an SRT nameplate. The people decided to either buy a Magnum or ignore it.

But who could ignore an American V8 under the hood? Exactly. Other cars usually offered V6s or a V8, but an American V8? Not a chance at all. The Magnum is one of the spacious American wagons on the old market. Sadly, it was killed off, but not without a fight first.

The Ford Taurus revamped the station wagon when it came out. Sure, it is not a looker, but it started something. It offered space and comfort. Reliability was not much of an issue for most. Fuel economy was not bad for the time either.

The Taurus wagon was seen as a family car so not everyone bought it, but it made the difference for others to continue on making wagons. The station wagons before this and after the ones that were in style before were not what most would call appealing. But the Taurus wagon kept the body style alive.
