if people actually bought the wagon in decent numbers, then surely ford would still make it. the range is decided on brand new sales - not second hand sales
Yes but the rest my post was the point I was trying to make... wagon sales lost out to SUVs, simply due to marketing and the perception they were safer because they are bigger and to look "cooler" or because they feel insecure in a normal car.
A station wagon hasnt got "the look", it means your old, bland, dull, not hip with it... everyone else has a SUV, follow the trend.

A lot of them are simply driven in town and never off road. Look at how many of them are driven by females. Watch them try to park one in a shopping center carpark!
