It may not be as slick
as the other ones, but if you can wait until May of next year the BMW
328i Sports Wagon will be in U.S. showrooms with the same turbocharged
four-cylinder engine found in the 328i Sedan, which delivers enough
power to make it deserving of the "sport" part of its name.
Mercedes-Benz CLS
Mercedes pioneered the
"four-door coupe" segment with its CLS sedan, so that must make this a
five-door coupe? Either way, the company calls it a Shooting Brake,
which is a fancy way to say station wagon. There are currently no plans
for U.S. sale, to which we say "shoot, give us a break!"
Ford Mondeo Wagon
It's called the Fusion here,
where sedan versions on on their way to showrooms, but in Europe it
goes by the name Mondeo and will available with a three-cylinder engine
that Ford says is good for 50-55 mpg.
Mazda6 Wagon
Mazda once sold a version of its
midsize sedan in the U.S., but the very stylish new model won't be
coming this way. Good thing the four-door looks almost as good.
