It is sad that the wagon does not come to the us! here in europe nearly everbody buys a wagon it's very practical! and as long as there are sportwagons like audi's volvo's and so on there is no reason to buy a huge SUV or something like that!
you americans should drive more wagons it's the best way to combine a lifestyle car with a sportive handling!

With no AYC to get in the way of a good slide, and the extra rear weight making it easier to feel rear-end breakaway, this wagon can be chucked into prolonged power slides all day long. Or as long as the 17-inch Yokohama Advans rubber lasts. And unlike the sedan version, which "floats" its rear inside tire in tight, fast corners, you can actually feel all four tires in contact with the road, even in the quick corners.
