Practical, fun and beautiful: this is the way of the wagon dude. In terms of the best of all worlds — driving dynamics, cargo hauling, passenger comfort, handling, etc. — wagons are, hands down, the holy automotive intersection. As a whole, though, consumers tend to want bigger, brasher vehicles, the likes of which will never be used to their full capability. But some wagons are great for budgets, some for beauty, some for off-roading and yet others are geared toward luxury and/or performance.
Alas, that argument seems futile. I may never own a brand new, 400-horsepower, all-wheel-drive wagon with a manual transmission that can haul all my gear and smoke sports cars. But for the time being, several automakers scratch the wagon itch with some absolutely sublime examples. Check some out below — and keep your fingers crossed for more.
