I suspect it will cost significantly more than an E wagon, so they will both exist, like CLS vs E.
If so fintail may have to hand in his fan card.
To be honest I'd prefer a regular E-class wagon, but square off the cargo area (like Volvo wagons) to give it more cargo space.
I haven't seen the new E- wagon, do they make one? What about the C-class?
I'm spoiled by my minivan's space. When I downsize (probably to a wagon or small/mid crossover), I want something that offers decent cargo room so it doesn't feel like a big sacrifice.
I rarely have to haul much, so if I had a wagon it would be just to be different. Not much is cooler than an E63 or C63 wagon
Not as nice looking, but far more practical. I wouldn't mind having one of those.
I'd take one!
I love wagons. I learned to drive on a 67 Pontiac Tempest wagon.
My first real memory with wagons was when my dad bought my mom a brand new 57 Plymouth Custom Suburban. Didn't get the third seat which was funny since they had 5 of us. I can remember really liking to hang out in the cargo area on long trips.
Wagons are like consumer-repellant in the USA. They can't even call them that - Touring, Versatility, Sport, or any name but wagon, which is what they really are.

Actually, I'm not sure my price range will reach that high, so I guess they could sell 1 and give away 2.
Didn't they use another name?
On commercials, saw another commercial yesterday on tv, was not Mercedes, Cadillac, or Honda. Kind of sleepy at the time. BUT, another take on stupid dry-lake bed speeding, kicking up dust/sand, then the obligatory sliding sideways with front wheels cocked. Who are the idiots, with money, who might make a car buying decision on these commercials?
Insofar as wagons/hauling, my former Chevy Caprice station wagon was superb. Then, I discovered Suburban, which I had for many years. But, the Suburban was outclassed by Honda Odyssey, which I had for some years side by side with Suburban. Ody was clearly the superior hauler of STUFF for sheer volume. Now, granted, I don't haul a boat or a horse trailer, which of course the Ody could not handle.
I don't think any highline buyer makes a decision based on a commercial...however...a cool commercial can help one justify their brand loyalty.
of note, they have a seperate section for wagons. Not very big. Interesting though what the count. Jetta makes sense. But they also count the mazda5, accord crosstour, sube outback, Toyota venza and Volvo XC70.
guess the sube and volvo are just too obviously jacked up wagons. But the 5 I thought should be in the minivan catagory. And I guess they didn't know what the heck to do with the venza and X-tour, since there is no hatchback catagory, and they sure aren't SUVs. And I guess family cars have to be sedans.

Venza, Crosstour, and Outback are...I dunno, crossovers?
Well, the ads seem to be working. Toyota has just 6 days' supply. And this for a (very) mild refresh. Not bad.

It's been a while...
Regarding the quad pipe wagons, AMG variants of W211 are extremely rare, average sales volume maybe around 100 units per year in the US...maybe the V8 models had quads, but I can't recall.

Here's the rest of the story.
It's got high miles -it was apparently a company car- which explains the $27,990 asking price.

this really pushes my button. a wagon, a stick, in my favorite color combo.
but man, those miles. Would have to be a lot cheaper than that to get me on board. And actually the Xi part is a much bigger turn off with high miles.
Now, at a better price and with RWD, I would be fine with the miles.

Would be cool to find that in a 3'er wagon (if they actually existed
They're starting to resemble Lexus ads too much, LOL.
Kentucky is also infested with the Old Man in Hat(OMIH). They are also frequently found in Avalons. In almost all cases the left turn signal is permanently activated.

Now that's a winter ad.
Not really commercials, but hilarious in their own ways. I'll take the Accord and Corolla, thanks: :shades:

Gosh, and interior space efficiency was terrible. Big outside, cramped inside. How did they do so poorly?
