Very true, although it's impossible to have sales results when a model is not available for sale. Catch 22.


Sadly, the truth of the matter is that Audi already made the decision to end all wagon sales in the USA market in favor of SUV sales.
I sincerely doubt this type of decision will be reversed anytime soon.

If we think positive and spread the word regarding the petition, maybe we get lucky! it doesn't hurt to sign a petition if you support the idea. Share with your buddies!

The station wagon of the 1960s & 1970s has been replaced by the CUV & SUVs of today. Even vehicles that appear to function like a station wagon are jacked up in height & marketed as a CUV or SUV, such as the Audi Allroad and Ford Flex

Car companies don't care about petitions. They care about sales numbers.

The sales numbers for wagon body style in the USA simply were not there, and Audi made the decision to focus on SUV body styles only. Those are what sells here.

+1, average american wants visibility, comfort and impact safety, not handling. I have no interest in SUVs or CUVs.

Ford & Chrysler got the message, even Porsche sales and profit in US are driven by SUVs.

Mercedes makes an E class "station wagon" that sells and is even available in more powerful AMG trim. The Avant also sells. Markets and tastes are cyclical so the sedan will return in some guise. If gas was very high in price (like $5 a gallon) there would be fewer SUVs and more small sedans and such.
