Regarding 3rd seats and crumple zones...I don't know about the Audi, but
Volvo specifically states that unlike the sedan, the rear clip of the wagon
is "hardened" and will not deform like the sedan will...

IOW, it will pass more of the energy of an impact *through* the car, which
if you have people in those seats, is probably a good thing...
