Wagon frenzy at Volkswagen
They have more cargo space than sedans, slurp less fuel than SUVs, plus they’re fun! What are they? Well, wagons of course! And going by the recent news/gossip trickling down from Germany, it seems wagons are on the comeback at Volkswagen.

Joining the..uh.. bandwagon is the 2009 Passat-based wagon. Taking the cue from the Dodge Magnum, the wagon will feature a lower roofline and a wider body than its Passat cousin. Since the model will be marketed as a premium Passat wagon, several amenities will be made available such as bucket massage functions and compensating cushions. As for the choice of Volkswagen engine, you can select between two: a 200-hp, 2.0-liter turbo and a high performance 3.6-liter VR6.
Wagons have taken a backseat here in the US but it would be nice to see these quirky machines on the streets again.
