Alot of this is caused by people buying tall suvs because they need 3 rows for all their kids. Here is a dumb idea.
Bring back front facing 3rd row wagons. Front facing 3rd row wagons are rare, only offered by GM in the 70s but they were so popular.
Bring these back and tax SUVs by hood height. Families will buy wagons again.
Minivan hoods are sort of tall.
but they slope down for visibility, instead of being built to ram a gate
