    Great. Another Ford JagWagen to compete with the V70 Volvo. Which we won't get in the States anyway. Just what the world was waiting for. Can you tell how unimpressed that I am, or should I add emoticons?

    The only reason I have not yet looked seriously at the XF has been its lack of wagonity... This could change everything, IF the rumor is true and IF they sell it in the US.

One of these days, we're all going to snap and start torching car dealerships and leave notes saying, "We warned you not to build that badass wagon/camino/hatch and only sell it in Europe/Australia/South America. Now you will lose one dealership a day until you promise to give us the good stuff."
