Some of these are running into the same style issue that I have with the "SUV's" in that it's a sloping back hatch and not a squared off rear section that an estate/station wagon traditionally has.

They aren't quite a wagon/estate and aren't quite a hatchback. Seems like they know anything called a wagon in the US is a kiss of death for sales so let's pretend and push it away from the usefulness of a wagon shape

I see what you mean, but for me the distinction between a hatchback and an estate is broadly whether the rear hatch hinges at the top of the 'C' pillar, or 'D' pillar. Or if there is roof line above the boot space or not when the hatch is open.

not available in Canada (as far as i can tell) nor is the Jetta wagon (if they still make that even). the Golf wagon is available and as a 4-door does look the part of a proper wagon.
personally love these cars but do see what you mean SBF about the sloping back hatch eroding the look. |

Skoda and Audi Estates may be available in Canada if you are looking at the VAG family?

the Audi wagons are for sure available here (all be it very pricey) but dont think Skoda's have been launched here. certainly have not seen them at my VW dealership.
i guess the wagons are just not popular here. even the American offerings like the 2019 Buick Regal TourX are (as far as i know) not sold in Canada yet. ![]() |

The Buick Regal is closely related to the Opel/Vauxhaul Insignia AKA Holden ZB
