There are WAY more trucks/SUVs out there than 3-child households.
And I'm not sure what you mean by "wagons don't meet emissions requirements" - wagons would meet the same regulations as sedans.
- aidenn0 3y agoWagons are heavier and less aerodynamic than sedans. When coupled with the same engine they are less fuel efficient (compare the E450 sedan to wagon). The fact that they are heavier and sell poorly means they will only usually be available with the large(r,st) engine (no E350 wagon in the US). Note that I used the Mercedes because it's the only non-compact wagon I'm aware of for sale in the US.
- markdoubleyou 3y agoThere's also the Audi RS6 Avant, a good option for anyone interested in spending $160K on a station wagon with 621 horsepower.
- aidenn0 3y agoOh, that beats out the AMG E-series wagon by 18 HP!
- alistairSH 3y agoThat's fair, but the wagon should still outperform an equivalent cross-over in just about any measure. What I don't know is where the line is between car-based cross-over and actual truck (as it related to emissions and safety standards).
- aidenn0 3y agoThere's an envelope, rather than a single line, but one line that makes up that envelope is AWD, such that some models without optional AWD are cars, but trucks with optional AWD
