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.

(emphasis mine)

I really don't think that this is why most people get cars with tall hoods. Most people who own an SUV don't even have more than two children, because families with 3 or more children are much rarer than SUVs (I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of SUV-owners was childless). Do most SUVs even have more seats than most regular cars?

Front facing 3rd row wagon

What exactly does "front facing" mean here?

That the third row is front facing. Ain't nobody buying a wagon with a rear facing third row.
