Why can't it be both? I love sporty wagons.

You’re talking to a couple who now own not one but three Camry’s. Our idea of vehicles is warped.

I miss my Jetta Wagon, that was a utility vehicle to me. 46 mpg, leather interior and driving range. And diesel torque. Loved that car... I’m starting to “like” what our CRV can move in terms of stuff, but boy do I hate driving it. I’m starting to think of trading a Camry for a wagon but I’m not sure what I want.
Cadillac? Looks decent, albeit it looks like low profile rubber. Definitely more in line with what I’d like next.
Buick TourX was a great example of affordable practicality, alas, GM killed it off recently as well. America hates wagons.

I was kinda joking around with you. I know next to zero about those cars, except the people that have them couldn't be coaxed out of them with a suitcase full of cash. Some guys love the idea of a vehicle that can carry a bunch of stuff at light speed. Not my cup of tea, but more my cup of tea than an SUV.
Was just going to say that. The TourX really was the only domestic *cough cough* wagon I've liked.Buick TourX was a great example of affordable practicality, alas, GM killed it off recently as well. America hates wagons.
You can find them lightly used, but with current used car prices, you're not going to get a deal.
2020 Buick Regal TourX Review, Pricing, and Specs
The 2020 Buick Regal TourX is worth consideration if you're looking for a mid-size wagon with a quiet cabin and loads of cargo space.
Yeah, but with this vehicle, they can't pretend they are invading Mosul when they go to fill gas at Costco and buy some hot dogs.
Yeah, I don't want to be shopping right now. Wife is convinced that I need to buy a project truck, something to putter around with and to futz on, but I sure know that right now is not the time.Buick TourX was a great example of affordable practicality, alas, GM killed it off recently as well.

No offense taken. This is how some of the better threads go--thread drift, but sure beats working.
I think you miss my point. Ugly is subjective and really not the focus. The issue is people buy these little CUV's thinking they will be better in inclement weather and have tons of cargo room. When in reality due to styling they are more cramped and have less cargo room than something like a wagon. Also they usually get pretty poor MPG due to aero issues and their AWD systems are kind of a joke.Says the guy with a Sonic and a Spark. Cute Utes didn't corner the market on little and ugly.
I had an '04 Jetta wagon and now have an '03 CRV. Quick look shows the VW was 34/52 and the CRV is 34/72 for cubic feet of cargo, seats up/down. I see the Regal is listed as 33/74. I will say the tall ceiling of the CRV makes taking trash cans to the transfer station easier than it was for my Jetta, maybe the Regal is like that too.
Don't get me wrong, there are good examples. CRV and RAV4 sell well for a reason. I'm thinking more about smaller ones than that even. Trax, HRV, Ecosport, CHR. Vehicles that really have no benefit over anything else.
Those do seem to be a bit out there. Too small and limited. Nice to have choices but that's a choice I don't need.
Every weekend when I take trashcans to the dump/transfer station.
It's not quite stacked to the ceiling but the standard trashcan is pretty tall. I haven't moved in a while but I sure do recall filling my wagon to the brim more than a few times with boxes when either moving homes or just moving stuff. Does seem less often now. That's why I finally gave in and downsized out of my truck, too little work for it and I can tow a trailer with almost anything (although I think I downsized too much and miss the capacity of the truck now!).
