Hear me out, they make one and it's called the Crown Signia

It's slow as hell, but drives wonderfully and is almoooooooost as nice as a Lexus.

You beat me to the punch! They drive very nice. Not quite as composed as an ES, but I found it quieter even in road/wind/ambient noise categories. You'll notice the engine a touch more under acceleration. And it's probably faster than the 300h. If I hadn't already bought my ES, I'd be driving the CS today.

It's nice but I'm not a fan of the raised ride height. I lowered it with my MS Paint skills to more of my liking.

1. I am down for bad photoshops any day of the week!

2. The truth is, though, the Crowns aren't really jacked up too high. The giant wheels and wheel arches do a lot of the work here. But there's no mag ride or air ride, i wonder if anyone makes a lowering spring.

3. I too have a passion for wagons. This one's mine --

I’ve posted this before as I’ve seen it toolin’ around town. Didn’t know what it was as there wasn’t any identifiable badging.

I'd love an ES wagon too.
Europe has the Corolla wagon called "Touring sports".
I had the previous generation, called Auris instead of Corolla, it was a bit small for rear passengers.
The current gen Corolla improves the rear passenger space by being a bit longer. And the wagon version improves that even more.
But it's still based on a mainstream compact so lacks the space a TNGA-K version could offer.
Having it in the ES range would ally the best functionality and comfort for road use.

When I was in grade school, the neighbors had a Plymouth station wagon with the rear-facing 3rd row seat and the back window that rolled down into the tailgate. We would put the window down and ride back there, breathing in all the car's exhaust.
No wonder I failed math.

The good ole' days! As #5 of 6 kids, I was permanently stationed in that rear facing seat. Also not great in math.

File:1970s Toyota Corolla estate (wagon) 1.2 Deluxe (E30) (10562484414).jpg
My dad had one of these when he was stationed in the south pacific in the late 70s. I was about 5 or 6 at that time. I remember he would throw blankets, pillows, food and fishing rods in the back and we would drive to a smaller road that was right next to the water. We would go fishing while sitting in the back of that Toyota. We get decent catches and bring them home for my mom to cook. He said I'd fall alseep with the fishing rod still in my hand and he'd place me in the back of the wagon to doze off. I would get awaken by the 2 way radio in the car dispatching him. I hated that thing because it meant our fun would be over. He did work for radio towers. Fixing, installing, calibrating very tall antennas in the pacific. I guess my fond memories of the past is why I still want a wagon.
