We need wagons/estates, but those only do well in select markets in the US, pretty much only blue intellectuals would buy one over a crossover.

- lotsofpulp 3y agoSienna/Odyssey/Pacifica/Sedona cover this segment.
- eep_social 3y agoI disagree, I think a wagon or estate can be designed to look cool, like the Audi RS6 Avant, to take it to the extreme, a minivan not so much.
- slt2021 3y agohave you seen Kia Carnival ?
- eep_social 3y agoI had not! Looks like it was the Sedona in North America until recently, which I have seen. Kinda looks like a minivan wearing a SUV trench coat. Not bad but I’m not in love ;)
- ajuc 3y agoThe problem with "cool" station wagons is the same as the problem with SUVs - they are less useful than "uncool" ones. My father had VW Passat and now he has Audi A6. Passat Station Wagon (what we call kombi in Europe) fits 2 big bicycles inside without disassembling them. Audi A6 and similar doesn't even fit 1 because of the angle of the rear window. Of course SUV also wouldn't fit 2 bikes inside, but still - you buy kombi for a reason. Making them cool to the point of breaking the usability is stupid.
- bdavbdav 3y agoI think that’s part of the idea of the whole VAG group though. The A6/Passat/Superb are all the same platform tweaked slightly for people trying to achieve different things. I’d say it’s a great setup.
- bdavbdav 3y agoThey look goofy next to German wagons.
