In a heartbeat. As Lexus will never give us a hot hatch, this would be the next best thing.

Yes. Wagons are awesome. SUVs are crap to drive.

Europeans love their wagons, bet this would kill over there.

And give it upgraded tech and engine and I'd buy it. Audi RS6 eat your heart out.

If it drove like a euro wagon/shooting brake I'd definitely consider it.

Agree...I'd like to see it with the 16+ grille.

Porsche's turismo or Zagato shooting brake, even E63 estate is awesome.
Agree....rear needs a little work...but I suspect the designers could totally make it work....

I'm certainly more of a sedan person but I love our Outback for carrying things now and then (it's the version before they become more like SUVs). SUVs are just not that fun to drive IMO.

Look at this wonderful beauty. At least Genesis has the ***** to fulfill a niche market.

That does look really nice. Sporty wagons are growing on me.

Nice car. I wish Lexus made something like it and I don't mean as a crossover / SUV.

However, the car is misnamed. The term "Shooting Brake" does not mean "sporty station wagon". It refers to a two door station wagon, such as a Volvo P1800. Four door station wagons are, well, station wagons.

This is what happens when you don't maintain control of the marketing department. You might as well call a four door car a coupe.

Never a fan of a wagon but that Honda looks damn good. Is it real? It's like Accord and Odyssey blended together.

It would be even better a wagon with a nice 6 speed manual. This BMW is a 5 speed manual and fun.

There's a reason why wagons aren't manufactured much. I'll pass.

They def don't sell in NA like they do in Europe. That said, I'd totally rock this.
