Will station wagons make a comeback? Have we come full circle?

Buick is irrelevant

Butt Ugly, Utterly Incompetent Chevy Knobwagon

>>17008066
lolno, unless you consider crossovers as station wagons. in which case, yes.
but you're going to say they don't count, so no.

>>17008093
Fuck, minus utterly

Yes, but that Buick is just a crossover trying it's best to pretend it's not fat.

>>17008066
not yet, but we will eventually.

As far as "people carriers" go, wagons were replaced by minivans, and minivans were replaced by "BIGGER IS BETTER" suv's, and now smaller suv's gave way to crossovers. crossovers will inevitably give way back to wagons and hatchbacks.

what they need to do, is make wagons with AWD, maybe even slightly higher ground clearance.

The subaru crosstrek is basically just an awd hatchback with a lift and I think it's sold a fair amount

I genuinely thought Buick was out of business

>>17008360
Sexy AF. I'd dump my TT and daily that mommy-wagon in a heartbeat.

They are kept afloat because China thinks they are status symbols.

Pretty sure OP pic is Audi Allroad kind of mildly lifted 4x4 model. Compare >>17009549

Also why the fuck does Hyundai change their visuals completely every second year? Damn chinks

>>17008066
Station wagons are like 1/3 of the entire market in euroland, Americans are just trying compensate as usual.

it's the perfect blend of performance and utility

>>17008066
I miss vans
I miss wagons
I fucking hate the crossover blob cancer

NO THEY ARE UGLY AS FUCK, JUST LET THEM DIE ALREADY

They are quite popular in Europe, though a bit less so nowadays with the current SUV/CUV craze. I think lifted wagons a la Audi Allroad is the future of segment.

Except it's insultingly small for a wagon. Barely more space in the back than your average hatchback.

Listen hatchback nu males,

Buick is the most reliable brand out there next to Toyota.

>>17008066
>implying they're not back already
CUV's are basically tall station wagons.

I doubt it, the car industry has effectively backed itself into a corner making shitty SUV's and crossovers that people continue to buy because they have no alternatives.

Same reason America will never have utes or small pickups; the rules and regulations will never allow and the majority of people will never buy them because 'hurr bigga is betta'.

This is your sandwich, and now you have to eat it.

>>17008066
Even if they did, I don't think I'll ever buy a car made after 2010. Too much fancy shit wasting weight and going bad.

>>17013479
The moment those Le Sabres start ending up in the hands of whoever is unlucky enough to inherit them from their great grandparents they've got another 3-5 years.

>>17008066
I doubt it... fucking people buying large Tahoey like SUVs that are over $50k for their families, or older ones.

anyway
>''''''awd''''''

Euro/Jap wagons and Shooting Breaks are coming back, yank station wagons will probably try and come back but ultimately fail as they did the first time.

dropped.
