That’s going to have to be the way it will happen.

Subarus 4wd estate car does everything an suv does with 3 times the mileage.

Ha ha, “estate”. I should call my Volvo that. Makes it sound so much fancier than the North American “wagon”. Europe does good wagons (I mean, estates), but stupid America has poor demand for them, and stupid rules that make it impossible to import EU cars. I am in particular a fan of the new BMW 5 series wagon. Diesel with the basic engine = >50 mpg. Even the performance M engine with 300hp gets over 40 mpg. And, of course, it’s not available in North America. And EU has tons more cars like that, that just blow American cars out of the water for the combination of practicality and efficiency.
