I agree that the lack of a hatch on the Taycan (and on the Model 3, to be honest) is a big pain. The wagon is the only one I'd want as a result.
Yeah that's probably it - although Porsche likes to make a big deal about their "foot garages" for rear seat passengers. But I guess with such a low roofline, a rear crossbar to mount a hatch wouldn't have worked. I do prefer the look of the sedan, but I think that's mostly cause I dont' like those plastic wheel arches on the CT. With all the crazy cosmetic options they have, it's hard to believe Porsche leaves money on the table by not offering an opttion to have those painted. Hopefully it's a sign that they plan to offer a "sport turismo" version as well
