Ian- you complain that the US companies abandonded the wagon segement- which, exactly, Toyota and Honda fill that need? AFAIKT, we are matching them stride for stride- you can't lay a generalization of "US companies" when two of the larget Japanese companies are doing the same thing.
We are not competeting with Subaru, they are pretty much the only mid-size wagon out there. Other than that, it's CUV's and small SUV's. See the Honda Accord crossover thingy as an example.
True...
Thanks to my "Japenese-car-hating-G/F", Japanese cars aren't really on the radar as possible purchases, so I'm comparing US offerings to the Euro brands. No, not really apples to apples, but that's where I'm at right now... And while there are a few Euro wagons, there are none that I feel are worth the asking prices... and I see some of these nice US sedans coming out and it depresses me to know there won't be a wagon version like there used to be...
As I've posted in other threads, Subaru fell off my possible purchase list when they went AWD back in the 90's...
I only bothered to read the first line of your post. But your girlfriend sounds smart. Japanese cars lack souls.
