I am so discouraged by the lack of #stationwagons in North America. I'm going to start posting all the ones that we can't buy.

I'm starting with the most obvious: #Toyota #Corolla YES, they still make a wagon for Europe (and probably Asia, why not?). America? No way.

I've driven the sedan. It's a great car. I never buy new cars, but if Toyota offered this, I might.

Back by absolutely no demand, the #statiowagons of the day. In this case, the #Skoda #Superb #Estate. Probably the best VW product in 10 years, not available in any for in North America, let alone this enormous wagon.

If you need more space than this folks, you drive a bus.

Last night I was searching for another #stationwagon equally ubiquitous as the Corolla, but without success. Today, I'll present the striking #volkswagen ID 7 wagon. The first #EV I'll present here. It amazes me that this isn't for sale in North America, but jelly bean Tesla X's that are so hard to shift that multiple people have accidentally driven them into lakes and died are available.

I had to search a little harder, but #Peugeot delivers! The 308SW. Not the best looking, but I enjoyed the Peugeot I rented during a vacation a few years ago. It's live to try this one.

Corolla is my favorite so far.

Today's #stationwagons is the #Genesis G70 sport brake. I thought brakes were supposed to be two doors, but who cares, this thing is huge, but sleek.

Made in Korea, but only available in Europe.

A new hope: Kia K4 #statiowagons ? I'm not sure if this is a hatchback or a wagon, but I can't wait to find out. Wow, it looks good!

#Opel #Astra Sport Tourer electric. How is this not available everywhere! It's like Nike meets Hugo Boss. #stationwagons #ev

I just read part of this review...now I'm angry. This would have been the best #Saturn ever by far....argh! #autocar

Vauxhall Astra review | Autocar

What else besides Mokka-inspired looks has Vauxhall given its old showroom darling? We try the Vauxhall Astra and the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer.

I almost forgot this thread...almost. VW recently debuted a new Passat Wagon. The interior has too much screen, but at least you can load a lot of construction debris in the back.

Just read that VW canceled the Id.7 for North America. I don't know if they would have brought the wagon too, but what a bummer.

Thanks Trump!

"With Audi’s Allroad models discontinued and the Subaru Outback becoming just another SUV, the underpowered Volvo V60 Cross Country might be the least-expensive #wagon left."

This year just keeps getting worse!
