Ugh, MPVs have no place on this earth. Just bring back 8 seater esate/station wagons instead of vans with windows...
MPV's like this are modern day wagons.

No, wagons are the modern day wagons. Just 'cause Americans generally don't buy them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Oh dear.Don't know about you but I wouldn't mind one of these:
Oh dear.
Anyway, I like small wagons quite a lot. I would even buy a Peugeot 207 Touring 'Outdoor'. "I can go off road, really, I promise. I have plastic wheel arches and everything!"
I'd even forgive it for being a 207. So what if I could buy a Dualis/Qashtwat for the same money? They're not as adorably optimistic about their capabilities.
I find that the problem is that estates/wagons tend to be considerably lower and sleeker than their MPV counterparts.
MPVs are minivans, minivans are vans with windows. They are just so upright and square and boring, can't stand them. My Yaris is incredibly upright and boring, but is still more interesting then the vast majority of MPVs. I think my greatest annoyance is the people with 3 kids buy these because they seem to think their kids need two seats each.
The fuck? My parents had a 1990 Rover 214, a car that in the US would be considered a "compact car", fitted 2 kids with child seats and one without without just fine. Then again now-a-days people fit TVs in their cars for the kids. Back in my day (circa 2002!) you just had to read a book and run the risk of being violently sick... Kids these days...
Of course it doesn't help that cars are so bloated with "safety" features it makes it hard to design a properly spacious estate car.
Apart from the nasty looking scratchy-scratchy plastic (you can just tell from looking at it can't you?)
Oi - I have a Zafira (well the Mrs has) and it has its moments thank you (Diesel Auto - rare in other cars of this type).
