Umm, how many VE Sportswagons do you see around these days. Heaps. Probably just as many if not more than VE sedans.
The reason why is because it came only as a standard XT configuration in limited colours, which the average private buyer did not want. If Ford had made the wagons in XR, Fairmont Ghia or G6E configurations, with choice of I6, I6T and V8 engines, as well as FPV having their versions, just like Holden has done with their Sportswagon, I'm sure the story would have been a lot different. Besides, how old was the Falcon wagon basic design?
Edit: Woops sorry, just read the posts above, but my thoughts are the Falcon wagon really needed a good freshening up with a new design.
