yes, wagons weigh quite a bit more than most a4's and passat's, and what 
about durango and expedition???

The SUV's are too nice to put wood and haul stuff in. A lot of SUV owners 
ask for leather. There's no utility in that. purely luxury. don't you think 
trucks would be more suited to haul wood and carry junk? and there are 
quite a few caps that emulate the space of SUV's. The thing is not that 
SUV's are really bad, it's the purposes they seem to be used for. There are 
just too many people using SUV's as racers, and as daily commute vehicles. 
Trucks and large vehicles are not suited  for either application, esp. when 
you have people riding these things w/o any inkling of how you handle a 
truck or bus, and pay no attention to simple maintenance items. Not saying 
this is you or anyone else, but some people were just meant to ride civic's 
and such...my opinion...
