Price.

And they really didn't. The wagon market overall is dead. Despite Volvo's attempts to revive. And the E63.

Let's see if the RS6 Avant sells.

In any event, I don't think that the Taycan ST should be too SUV-ish, especially since the next Macan is likely going to be all EV.

Ugh. My wife wanted one when the kids were little. I bought a Suburban instead. (Still have it. Just used it a couple days ago to help a neighbor move some furniture. She's a Tesla owner too...)

True, but Subaru sells 15-17K Outbacks a month, not bad in the land of CUVs. And pretty much is a segment owned by one automaker. The majority of drivers are women and in the upper demographic, used to be Volvo's demographic and sales.

Will a Taycan "Outback" sell? Stranger things have happened.

I had a V90 Cross Country prior to my Sport Turismo. Not a fair fight to put it mildly but the overall engine and transmission in the Volvo was utter garbage. I tried really hard to love the car (loved the design and utility) but simply could not.
