VW really wants to kill their wagon. So the golf wagon would be nice with the higher HP, but you can only get it in the low-end trim with no tech. Then there's the lifted all-track, but that's basically a big slap in the face to anyone that wants a good handling sporty wagon.

At least the Arteon is a useful configuration even in the sedan version, huge hatch that just swallows stuff. All sedans should be like that IMO.

I just bought a hatchback that I wish was a little bigger, but it's big enough. If they offered an S4/RS4 Avant or M340 wagon here, I'd have it, no question.
