Gen X shoulda boughta fucking wagon like their parents.
I'm Genx. No kids still at home. I got a minivan (6 cyl Grand Caravan) and will keep having a minivan because they're versatile as fuck. I'm on my 3rd right now. They're comfortable to drive long distances, handle well in the snow, and have buttons for controls instead of a touch screen.
Haul 8 people. No problem. Haul 4x8 sheets of plywood. No problem. Camp in the back. No problem. Move a couch. No problem. Haul a small camper or trailer. No problem.
I fold the seats and slide in a sheet of 1/2 inch 4x8 plywood in the back to make loading/unloading easy.
They're cheap too. You can pick one up just a few years old for a few thousand.
