Called the RS4 Nogaro selection, it sports vibrant Nogaro Blue paint, which is similar to the RS2's signature color. The twin oval exhaust, window frames, and grille surround are finished in gloss black, while the roof rails are matte black. 20-inch wheels in a V-spoke pattern are the RS4 Nogaro's final exterior tell.
 
US auto market, Y U hate wagons so much!?
Click to expand...

I like any kind of automobiles, including wagons.

I just don't understand why the Big-3 US Automakers gave up on them (and then other brands that sold here eventually followed suit). US Automakers had simply stopped making them for this country and as they announced their end most replied "They couldn't sell well" or "There's not enough demand for them". Sure, a majority people may of agreed to they words, but others believed that the reason is that they can eat up crossover and van sales if they remained available.

Wagons have the style of their Sedan/Coupe counterpart it's based on, while having almost the same capacity for family and cargo purposes as most Crossovers, Vans, or SUVs in their similar size classes, and likely having better Fuel Economy and performance (mainly due to usually being lighter and more aerodynamic). That's the reason why they still sell quite well in Europe and Asia.

They deserve to at least be given another chance in America for the same reasons, even if built in limited quantities per year.
 
The Big 3 have nothing to do with wagon sales in the US, Volvo have always sold at least 1 here until last year because people were to busy busy buying crossovers and SUVs.

And the Big 3 probably wouldn't need any crossovers if wagons sold well enough, but they just don't. That whole thing started in the early 2000's because SUVs with their size gave a perceived safety that prompted many of our parents (my mother included) to buy them, even though they are not safer due to a higher risk of rollover due to the significantly higher center of gravity.

Wagons did once rule the market, but the children of the buyers shunned them when minivans came around, then those children shunned them for SUVs, and now those children who now are adults will likely shun them for something else.
