Yet another completely impractical 'wagon' I guess it's still an improvement over a sedan :/

Surfaces on the exterior of the cargo area being non-vertical implies that surfaces on the interior of the cargo area are also non-vertical, and therefore less practical. Frankly I give not a single solid poo poo about right-angles and cubity, I want one.

dissss posted:In the same way almost all modern wagons are - between intrusive suspension and sloped glass you simply cannot fit anywhere near as much stuff in them as the wagons of old That's certainly true but I guess you could say the same thing about the rear window of any sedan. Therefore I propose we all have vertical rear windows that go right up to the trunk lid, 1980's Monte Carlo style.

Difference being you can extend the trunk forward beneath the glass in the form of a parcel shelf, there's no equivalent way to reclaim vertical space with a sloped roof.

Someone will always bitch about something. Wagons barely sell as is, if they squared off the back it would look ugly as poo poo and zero people would buy them. Be happy someone is still making wagons at all.

Yeah, like it or not, mainstream consumers like some tumblehome and D-pillar rake on their wagons and hatches. It does not render the car completely and utterly useless.

This should be AI's dream car. Brown, small displacement but enough get up and go, comes with a manual, vertical rear window, tons of space.

As far as I know, the SportWagen is the only new manual diesel wagon available in the US. Except you can't get it because VW committed a felony just by selling it. Also, it doesn't come in brown.

Saw a Model X just rolling around: Note the P90D badging. Muffinpox's Saturn's defrost vent makes for a sick two-level diffuser. Neither he nor I noticed it was something other than a Model S until we were stopped behind it. Had no idea it was out, but apparently 200 got delivered this past quarter. Did not mock the nonchalant driver with  Also, this was the first time I realized that "falcon wing" is branding for SpaceX's rockets.
