    It's certainly better looking than any SUV.

      I also like wagons and hatches more than sedans because it's kind of scary having rainwater get all over my rear windshield and I can't see when I drive my Hyundai Sonata in the rain.

    Wagons have come so far since the 80s and 90s, even early 2000s. The STi wagon was a real win for me. I'll never own a minivan, but I'd take something like this.

    I love these E wagons, especially the E 63. I own a VW wagon and am a fan of them. Two Zonks. Heated rear seats aren’t standard for the price point, and Mercedes, like many other manufacturers have very limited color selection.

    A lot of people mainly buy the SUV because of ride height for broader visibility. Hooey❤.

    It's a shame so many automakers are dropping wagons. It's only BMW, Daimler, GM, Jaguar, Subaru, Volkswagen, and Volvo that have stuck with them.
    And VW's lineup of wagons is about to get much smaller in the American market since the Golf SportWagen and Alltrack are being dropped. Now all we'll have from them soon will be the Audi A4 allroad. Unless you count the Porsche Panamera, but that's not really what most people think of when they think of a "practical wagon".
