Detroit and LA represent the automobile business’s New Year’s Eve parties. Their respective media days mean the unveiling of a new piece of hardware every hour. Some are flights of concept-car fancy, others the real production versions of vehicles we’ve heard about, and more still are something in-between. If any theme carried the first two major shows of 2003, it was the reinvention of the station wagon. Everyone was trying to figure out what to call these SUV/crossover/wagon/MPV, but it didn’t matter. Most represented the desire to have a given machine be more things to more people.
