In addition to GCncsuHD's thinking, I'm guessing that the limited headroom in a station wagon vs. the Suburban would also make a difference considering the ease of entry and exit in a burb vs. that of a wagon. Combined with hot sticky vinyl seats in a wagon with no air means that many more fights between siblings in the back when trying to get in and out. Now that I think about it, that third seat option in the wagons where the kids just climbed over the 2nd row seat probably caused more fights in my household than any.
