station wagon superiority

i need an electric station wagon goshdarnit!!

In the interim, the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports Hybrid is an excellent alternative. Versatile, spacious, fuel efficient, reliable, and dare I say quite attractive as well. The Toyota Prius V / α also deserves a shout out

VW ID7 was advertised as the new Passat stationwagen.

It ended up just being a standard sedan with more tacky LEDs on the outside starting at like € 70k

Taycan Cross Turismo or Sport Turismo is incredible. It had better be for its sticker price tho. But they're probably great on the used market.

I love mt Subaru Levorg (aside from its fuel consumption), I wish they made a new version with an electric drivetrain, instead they made the fuckin Solterra

I wish we got those in the US. I would trade my Outback for one in a heartbeat.

I do love mine with the H6

A 2000 outback as an ev would be amazing. I love the old Outbacks.

Convertibles and coupes are also a dying breed.

Here in Australia there's the new Deepal E07 which is a weird and interesting concept. Looks like a sedan / truck / station wagon all in one.

I really want a large electric station vagon, or even better an electric camper with decent range.

Hopefully its just a few years away.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 14 hours ago

this is the only new car I would consider buying. Of course, if they did offer it in my market, it would be full of touch screens and spyware, so I still wouldn't buy it

[–] _apokalipto_@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yes! Me too. I think the only option at the moment is the MG5 here in Europe.

There’s also the Opel/Vauxhall Astra electric.
