I think I can say with confidence that we here at AutoSpies.com think wagons are NOT poison.
In fact, in a lot of cases, we think configured correctly, they can actually be COOL.
But we're at the polar opposite of MOST Americans.
Ask most dealers (ESPECIALLY Cadillac dealers sitting on all those CTS's) and their skin will turn a morbid shade of grey when the word 'wagon' enters the conversation.
I'm pretty sure the reason Americans HATE them is because of three things.
The American station wagons of the 70's and 80's, MOM and all the GREAT crossover's on the market.
Those wagons produced by the Big 3 just couldn't have gotten more craptastic in the day.
Plus, the visions conjured up in the ladies minds today that if they're driving in wagon they look like Mom in the drivers seat in curlers, COMPLETELY unattractive to the opposite sex, AIN'T helping!
And lastly, new crossovers like the wicked hot Range Rover Evoque aren't going to make anyone run back to the wagon anytime soon in the USA.
But if there was ONE that could have a chance, we think it would be the 2013 Audi RS4.
Just check out how beautiful it is! (Make mine Nagaro blue with two-tone blue black interior).
Chime in and let us know what it would take or if EVER, wagons will get hot again in the good old US of A.
