I've always liked wagons. I like the Forenza, Focus, 6, Subbies, etc. My wife doesn't like them. Thus, we've had Explorers, Minivan, and now mini-ute. The FWD Mariner is a nice trade off: mileage = 23/26, 30 cu-ft. of cargo, etc.

I think the new RAV4 is a great wagon alternative with it's high 20 mpg and quick v-6. I liked the old one when we shopped for the CR-V 5 years ago but it had waay to little cargo space.

btw she only gets 22MPG overall with the 2007 4 cylinder AWD RAV4 and is not a lead foot. The roominess is nice though.

Good riddance. Can't wait for the ugly Volvo wagons to go too!

Crossovers are too tall for my taste and most get gas mileage much worse than typical cars. If only Honda, Toyota and Nissan would bring back state of the art Accord, Camry and Maxima wagons; with awd and diesels!

typical American buyer, who just buys on a size/price basis, like they buy everything else. Supersize me!
