Default Wagons, wagons, wagons!

My collegue was inspired to get a wagon after seeing my 4ST at our daughters' dance class. Perfect.

I'm sorry but the ST Blows the RS6 outta the water.

2 beautiful wagons!
I vote for the gray one........(even though the blue one is blindingly fast!)
The gray one just looks better. And it's a Porsche. The ST will still look great years from now, while the RS6 will look dated.

Wagons aren’t for everyone, but for those that dig them - we are a pretty passionate group, both owners and admirers. I probably take more pics of unique estates/wagons I see in the wild than cars that most would consider cool (I get it, to each, their own).

Love the wagon threads. I’d like to see ST sales figures by model - does that exist?

We were at the beach last week and a young surfer walked by and said “long roofs rule!”

Not a great pic below, but this is a buddy of mine who has a 6spd CTS-V wagon. It is a handful, in a good way. Sure, build quality is GM, but the fact that it is a 6spd wagon w/600+HP, he gets my thumbs up. Oh btw, the value of these has skyrocketed, at least for the nice ones.

Cool

And because it's an SUV (according to my insurance policy!!!!), sometimes they even get used for boring everyday tasks, like moving 6 large boxes of LP 78's to a collectors garage.......

Yeah, the Sport Turismo is unusual and really cool, but try selling one. We have a Panny4 ST, loaded(MSRP $120K+) only 8300 miles and have had virtually zero interest in it. Listed on Autotrader and Cargurus for $79999. Who knew this was such a lousy resale P car? Would love to hear from anyone who has interest...under warranty from Porsche til 1/31/26.

North American's don't want estates. That simple really. OEM certainly don't make it compelling. My Panamera GTS came to 174ish with just about everything. I could have built a identical Cayenne GTS for 150 something. I see a good amount of wagons in big outdoors lifestyle areas like here in the PNW and Colorado. You have to really want the wagon to give over that money. And the NA market wagons are mostly on the high end now. RS6, Taycan, Panamera, E400, and a Subaru or two. The golftrac, volvo v60/v90 and their xtour variants are all gone. Rumor is the e63 wagon is finished here and I doubt we'll get the e400 in the new gen. Shame really but that's what the OEM will do when the sales don't align up. I will be surprised if we get the next gen panamera wagon.

I understand that in Europe the ST accounts for 50% of Panamera sales, which makes sense due to the fact of no SUV's over there.

Were you able to sell it?
