Much talk about SUV’s Crossovers and Wagons lately…..most people I talk to would not be caught dead in a wagon  Insecurity at its best.

Yup wagons are cool. I'd buy one but my Wife wouldn't be caught dead in one. Sound familiar?

How is it possible that after electricity has traveled through hundreds of miles of power line then hundreds of feet (or yards) of romex in our home, that changing the last three feet of wire with something exotic, expensive (cool looking, and packaged in a pricey box) is going to make a difference?

Echoing Quad, cool (even if it is a hatch).  |

You bet they're cool!
A neighbour has a new Saab 9-3 SportCombi. I'm not crazy about the drivetrain layout, but that thing is flat gorgeous.
I think my real-world dream car would be a BMW 335i Touring: RWD, not too big, awesome engine, plenty of room to haul stuff... |

Voted 'cool'. Many look fantastic, like the upcoming jetta. I remember the old 90-ish Toyota Corona diesel wagon (right wheel). It was very basic but the roominess beat most modern compact SUVs. Mileage was exceptional as well. I say bring more here and let ppl decide. |

Most of my friends wouldn't want to be caught dead in one. Although hearses are wagons too, n'est-ce pas?
I wanted a Jetta MKIV wagon but couldn't afford it.

I think most wagons look ugly. A few, such as the Protege 5 look tolerable. |

Hatch or a Wagon. In most cases those descriptions are interchangeable. Function often trumps form IMO. |

Tell that to Mazda, who market a Mazda6 sedan, hatch, and wagon.  I like some wagons - the old Impreza wagon, for one. But I find many simply ugly... I do like hatches, though, as if that makes any sense. However, I do appreciate the wagon's function, and would not be opposed to buying a wagon over a sedan as long as it wasn't too horrible looking. |

I think most of you would reconsider your vote if they looked like this:  A station wagon is a station wagon. I don't care if you call them SUV, SAV, SUW or COV or POS. They're still station wagons. You either like 'em or you don't. If calling it some fluffy name makes you happy, then great. I own a Honda Fit. It's a little station wagon and I'm OK with that. |

I seem to recall a thread about that question... something to do with where the rearmost pillar is, or where the back windows are, or something, was the consensus, iirc. |
