This thread has kinda turned into a discussion of who digs wagons vs crossovers, but just to go back to the assertion of the article: the Bloomberg article leaves out a critical fact - that wagons are losing share despite selling more units.

Road and Track reported on that here:
https://www.roadandtrack.com/new-car...share-falling/

This data is not good news. The total number of wagons sold is up overall, but it's only because overall sales are way up. But sales of other segments are growing far faster than wagons so wagons are losing share.

The implication for automakers? I can sell far more crossovers or whatever for my investment dollar, so I'm not going to focus my time or money on wagons.

What a shame too, that wagon in the OP is drop dead gorgeous. But I guess I'm part of the problem - I love looking at a nice wagon, but I've never actually bought a wagon
