The Car I Want . . .

[Perknose]

Won't be available here, of course.

I LOVE small wagons. I can't stand most SUV's. I'm all about the nexus of efficiency and utility, and a small wagon hits that sweet spot for me.

If Honda somehow thought to put the more conventional dash from their (Civic based) Acura ILX in it:

Instead of the standard Civic "Wizzo 3000, Jetsons Edition" unit:

And maybe offered a lightweight diesel (ceramic, anyone?), well, I'd be filling my sport model Depends with spontaneous appreciation, yesirree! :awe:

And now, my moment of zen:

The car you deserve...

 

[Insomniator]

Love small wagons but that thing is ugly as hell.

This is what I want also not available here

I wish Americans didn't have to drive hummers and expeditions everywhere. Even in NYC most cars are large SUV's... I don't get it...

I picture Dave in a VW bus with peace symbols hand painted on it. Mexican horse blankets for seat covers and Joan Baez or Paul Horn music playing.

Whats wrong with the TSX Wagon?

The biggest travesty is that we do not get a Focus wagon. They even get an ST wagon in Europe.

The biggest travesty is that we do not get a Focus wagon. They even get an ST wagon in Europe.

The gas guzzler tax killed the station wagon in the US (as well as the small pickup), and it didn't recover even though we can now make them that get good enough mileage to be exempt. Anyone who hates SUVs can thank the government.

 

[BassBomb]

I love full size wagons, and I am bothered that they're becoming extinct. I have yet to buy my first car (my Accord is really my parent's) and I have been looking at wagons.

E-350
3-series wagon
CTS wagon
Audi Allroad
TSX wagon (soon to be extinct?)

Above are some of the currently available ones. The Audi high performance wagons are not around here in NA

I feel that wagons are especially nice because, usually they look just like the sedan but with the added space and not the added hits of a SUV. I find a smaller SUV to be cramped

I think you mean CTS-V wagon right?

 

[Imported]

The car I want is down the road at the McLaren dealership. Only costs a cool $1.2million. Yummy P1.

I drool at it every time I pass by on my way to and from work/home and purposely try and get the red light so I can look some more.

 

[Zodiark1593]

Getting my grandparent's 2001 Volvo V70 wagon pretty soon myself. About as powerful as my V6 Merc Cougar (failed tranny) with an inline 5 cylinder motor. The way my grandparents took care of the Volvo, you'd think it was brand new.

I don't see that many wagons around myself, mostly SUVs is a person wants the space, but those things guzzle gas like a gamer downs Mountain Dews.

There is both

 

[NutBucket]

I'll hop on the wagon bandwagon too. The mid-size Merc/BMW/Audi wagons are slick but there's just not enough demand. I'm guessing there won't be a 3-series wagon stateside anymore either.

I really like the TSX wagon but no 6MT

its not the gas guzzler tax. its the fact that CAFE rates "trucks" differently on a different scale. so a bmw X1 or some lifted truck or SUV is on a different CAFE schedule. hence the audi all road, X1, etc. and how A4 avant / 1 series hatch arent sold here.

 

[NutBucket]

And that is retarded. Maybe the CAFE schedule should be based on curb weight instead of something as arbitrary as car vs. truck. Or maybe a truck is anything with body-on-frame construction. But that would be logical and the government wouldn't like that.

 

[hans007]

yes the govt is prety stupid. you know the PT cruiser i think was technically a "truck" on CAFE

 

[Ferzerp]

Also, originally posted car is ugly, and I'm having trouble understanding how it could ever be coveted

bmw 3 series wagon just came out too. you can even get it in diesel. unfortunately its really really expensive.

Oh god, what the fuck?!

The Audi All-Road A4 with 210HP 4cyl retails for $60K with most option boxes checked. Insanity!

The Focus & Mazda 6 wagon not making it stateside is a real bitch.

 

[ProchargeMe]

I want this

But I want a turbo v6 version instead of the hybrid

I have a Tacoma. There was no gas guzzler tax.

That car is tiny. The backseat is useless and it really doesn't have a whole lot more interior space than my CR-Z. But other than that I like the looks and the interior looks nice.

I think the 3-series wagon gave way to the 3-series GT.

I don't know about wagon though, every time I see one, I think of hearse.
