Cars | Wagons Are Dead | FAIL

Click on the title to read one of the dumbest automotive reports, ever.

Wagons are not dead. If they are, somebody needs to tell Subaru! Besides the Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Dodge Caliber, Ford Flex and MB offerings mentioned in the article (wait, I thought the wagon was dead?!?), here's a partial list of wagons available in the 2011 model year (I've probably forgotten one or two):
  • Acura TSX Sport Wagon
  • Chevrolet HHR and Aveo
  • Ford Fiesta, Grand C-Max ('12) and Focus ('12)
  • Kia Rio and Soul
  • Saab 9-3
  • Nissan Cube, Versa and Leaf
  • Lincoln MKT
  • Suzuki SX4
  • Toyota Venza, Prius, Yaris and Matrix
  • Mini Clubman and Countryman
  • Scion xB
  • VW Golf, Jetta and Passat
  • Subaru Imprezza, Forester and Legacy
  • Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
  • Lexus CT200h
  • Honda Accord Crosstour, CR-V, Element, Fit and Insight
  • Hyundai Elantra Touring
  • Mazda2, 3, and 5
Hello?

Even if you remove the "crossovers" (the CR-V, for example) and 4-door hatchbacks (isn't that the definition of a wagon?), you still couldn't say that the wagon is dead any more than you could in years past. Just an absolutely moronic article. I think I'll go drive one of my two wagons (both of which are still in production) and shake my head in disgust.
