It blows me away that vans and trucks are cool but sleek hot rod wagons are not.

I agree that a good wagon can be better than an SUV or Van from a performance, aerodynamic, and center of gravity point of view.
The problem is making a good looking wagon. Of course, you would think car makers would figure it out. Funny that they can't get their act together.

Question for everyone.. has Ford ever put out a "cool" looking wagon at all? Just curious.

There is nothing good about having average people driving trucks.

All the time internet geeks harp about how they can haul **** from home depot in their ghey trucks, and on the road, you see one truck out of 1000 with any **** in the back at all. Even funnier are the yuck yucks that remove or leave down their tailgates thinking they get better mileage, when they actually get worse mileage

Power!!
Wagons are making a comeback in the US. They're called Crossovers. Whatever you need to call it to make people feel better about buying them it's still a wagon. Perfect example: Cadillac XRS. What is it...a station wagon. What do they call it...

I wish wagons were making a comeback.
