In this week’s Behind The Wheel Podcast episode, we delve into the world of wagons, specifically those that are widely available everywhere except the United States. Join us as we discuss the perfect blend of performance and practicality that these often-overlooked vehicles offer.

The hosts kick off the episode by pondering the ultimate daily driver. While the Porsche 911 R might be the dream, they agree that the Audi RS6 Avant is a strong contender for the title of “ultimate dad wagon.” With its spacious interior, impressive performance, and undeniable style, it’s easy to see why.

But why are wagons so rare in the United States? The hosts argue that U.S. car companies themselves may be partly to blame. By focusing on SUVs, even for performance-oriented vehicles, they’ve inadvertently killed the market for sporty wagons.

The conversation then turns to the fantastic wagons available in other parts of the world. From the Audi RS4 Avant to the Cupra Formentor, the hosts discuss their favorite European and Japanese options. They even express a fondness for the Toyota Crown wagon, a JDM classic that’s sadly missed in the U.S.

As the episode concludes, the hosts ponder whether there’s a chance for a wagon revival in the United States. With the growing popularity of electric vehicles, there’s hope that automakers will see the potential in offering more diverse wagon options.
