Why? Because there are so few (exclusivity factor?), or because you genuinely want one?
It's great saying, "I'd buy one", but when it comes to actually do it, very few ever answer the call.
Ford did the right thing. They gave it a go, and it didn't work.
The wagon segment is simply not conducive to attracting new buyers.

Your 'decent wagon' and what I call a 'decent wagon' are different. I didn't buy a 6cyl wagon because I don't like 6cyl powered cars. I built a wagon that suits my needs, hence the last sentence in my last post. In fact, my wife and have given the SSV hatchback serious consideration.
Perhaps what I shouldv'e said was that Ford cannot justify building a FG wagon if they cannot sell decent numbers of the FG sedan.
