Anything without wooden side paneling is a wannabe wagon at best

Couldn't agree more

Was looking into this, I think they only sell the Allroad these days in Canada,which is A4 based according to posters above. Nice option though. We shall see if the A6 avant ever shows up. That's pretty sweet.

A6 Allroad is likely coming here. No avant though, just like the A4 Allroad.

[ExtraSlow]

So, it's too cold to play outside, so I'm making a master list. Here it is:
Audi A4 Allroad
BMW B-series Wagon
Subaru Outback
VW Alltrack and Golf Sportwagen
Mercedes C-class Wagon
Volvo V60, V60XC, V90 and V90XC

Too Short (anything 4470mm or less):Mazda 3 Sport, Hyundai Elantra GT and Subaru Impreza 5-door and some other subcompacts
Too Long ( Longer than 5100mm): Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT (longer than a minivan!)
Too Expensive (over 65k base price): Mercedes E-Class Wagon

Have I missed anything currently for sale new in Canada? Or is it just these 7 basic vehicles?

I made a comparison sheet and sorted by exterior length

That's about it. Also a wagon fan. I was hoping we would get the Jaguar XF Wagon in Canada - but looks like US Only.
Add the Panamera Sport Turismo to the too expensive list.

Hyundai has been making an Elantra wagon for a while. It's pretty tiny, smaller than Golf Sportwagen, although a nice option if you don't have a full family of gear and people to haul. And the new generation looks pretty great.

Ford has some some nice looking wagons in Europe (Focus and Fusion) but unfortunately not here. It is nice to seem a few new ones lately. If I didn't have to tow with my SUV I would much rather a wagon.

FWD though.

FWD though.

And a lot cheaper, so it's a fair trade-off for the lower end of the market. From what I read it's a pretty good car.

You got me all excited until I saw it's FWD.

I have that effect on people, especially good looking guys like you.

Anyone driven some of these wagons or AMG/CTS-V? Other than utility, which one offers the best driving dynamics?

[schurchill39]

I'm really surprised @90_Shelby hasn't commented here yet. He's the ultimate wagon fanboy.

Elantra wagon has been discontinued for years now hasn't it?

The V90s is one wagon I would love to have right now.

Nope, they just brought out a new generation of it in fact and it looks pretty good if you want a subcompact wagon. They even have a sort of hot-hatch-y version called the N-line.

I looked at both the cts-v wagon and the e63 wagon. The Cadillac had far better driving dynamics. At least for that generation.

If that's a wagon, then I think GTI is the best wagon in the class by far.

This is the Elantra wagon I was remembering.

Yeah, it's tiny, and it's not on my list because of how small it is, but I mention it, and it's reasons for exclusion, for the sake of completeness.
