I personally prefer sedans by a wide margin.

Wagons just look kinda nerdy to me.

I am weird.

Love longroof variants of things like big German cars and classic American cars.

I prefer a sedan version over a wagon as well and I have owned a wagon. It was an 02 WRX.

Because wagons and hatchbacks are extremely functional vehicles. They're more practical for the majority of people who end up buying SUVs and trucks. That is unless you really do want or need the extra space or an open bed.

It's like a sedan with a lot more storage space, but you still maintain a lot of sedan fuel efficiency and driving characteristics.

I like rodded out old wagons and some of the newer BMWs

Not a car hipster. Dont even really like cars, as I like pickups and classic SUVs. But some wagons just seem cool

They don't make those anymore.

Now, it's upwards of $70K to get that kind of utility and they look awful.

No one compares coupes to wagons.

I’ve never heard anyone say “I’d love to have an M4 wagon”. The M5, on the other hand...

Sedans are equally as strange to me as a wagon, if not more so. I'm a truck/4runner/wrangler guy, so all the rest is kinda pointless.

Real wagons

Shooting brake

I'd love to have BMW M Coupe, and I love the lines of the Ferrari FF.

I do prefer a sedan over a hatchback though. When I got my Subaru Impreza, I tested both and got the sedan. No cleaning off the back window and I prefer having a trunk (boot to all you in the old country).

Sedans and wagons are both "nerdy" to me.

You simply don't fully comprehend the power of good and constant marketing. The proof? You have men talking about how cool their sedans, wagons and hatchbacks are.

Posted: 11/23/2019 3:37:45 PM EDT

Owning a sedan is like owning a crew cab truck with a hinged, non removable bed cover. It's a waste of space.

I would prefer either a Suburban or an open bed.

Hence, wagon. I don't care how it looks to you, because it's a tool.

Prefer hatchbacks to sedans. But HB cost more. Can make sedan work though.

I don’t really care for a full on wagon. I can see the practicality, but they just aren’t appealing to me.

I don’t mind hatchbacks. The whole “hot hatch” thing is a nice combo of a well performing car that is also very useful. While my Focus RS for sure isn’t going to replace a truck or SUV for the whole “hauling shit around” tasks, it works fine for 95% of stuff I need a little extra space to fit it in a car. I use it for a lot of Home Depot runs where my beater sedan just lacks the useable space.

I used to be the same way.

I love the clean lines, good handling, and quicker acceleration of sedans now. While one day I want both an F-150 and an M4, I’d happily settle for a sedan in the meantime.

But you forgot the man bun.

Meh...I don't get too wound up on the pure style of vehicles anymore. I think more about functionality, mechanical durability, and cost.

I'll admit it right here that among my household's three vehicles is the '07 Chevy Uplander minivan in cargo model that's my daily driver...still has the windows but nothing back of the front seats and rubber flooring. Makes for a great serial killer vehicle or for lurking near playgrounds.

You guys can go being stylish elsewhere...LOL!

Wagons are superior. Those of us who grew up with these had a seed planted to love wagons of all kinds.

My 2010 VW TDI Sportwagen is the best car I've ever owned.

Dad mom and grandma in the front.

Aunt uncle and two other children on the back bench.

Half dozen kids rolling around the bed.

You'd need a large commuter van to move that many people in one vehicle these days.

Sedans are a dead genre btw.

I don’t need a Tahoe or an F150

Miss my 328i wagon.

Want a E63 AMG wagon.

Probably get an Allroad when the Pilot lease is up.

Thanks for asking.

Europeans drive wagons. They get a ton of practical storage space with the handling of a sedan.

Australians drive 'Utes. They get the practicality of a truck with the handling and fuel economy of a sedan.

B5 Jetta Wagon was the best commuter car I ever had, and that’s still counting for what a total bitch working under the hood was. That engine compartment was tighter than virgin pussy
