I do think there’s a bigger appetite here for wagons than these manufacturers realize - apparently the RS6 has exceeded expectations despite costing 120k+!

I think the manufacturers (intentioally?) shoot themselves in the foot with wagons. They seem to either bring over the insane e63/rs6/m5 level of wagon, uber-basic underpowered 4cyl a4/3series or jacked up all-road types. I'd love for them to bring back a 540 wagon (or better yet a hybrid 50e drivetrain like JST's x5) that can be spec'ed for sport/touring use. I read the 5 wagon is coming back for the next gen of 5 series, so we'll see if that happens.
