Yeah basically this. Fun cars are fun, but sometimes you just want comfort and practically and don't want a wanky looking SUV (some SUV type cars are nice, most are just obtuse).
SO many brands have ditched their decent estate cars now, been trying to buy a 530d or E350 for about 2 years now but keep drawing blanks. Those that have good ones, aren't selling as its likely the last good one that you'll find if that makes sense.
Wouldn't even mind an SUV if it was actually practical, i.e. seats fold flat, front passenger seat folds over, was square at the back. Actually handled without making your kids projectile vomit, didn't have 22" tyres that cost £350 a corner, had the same aero/drag coefficient as a car from the 70's, made you look like a tosser, big on the outside, small on the inside, made of low grade noisy plastics, my rant could go on.
