> It completely failed and SUV consumption skyrocketed and people stopped buying minivans and station wagons.

The government put fuel efficiency regulations on sedans in the 1970s. This effectively killed station wagons. The rules around light trucks were different though, and that's why the minivan was created.

The SUV is an outgrowth of the same thing.
