2020 E450 Wagon
MB produced 1 wagon right? And it’s how much? How many SUV’s do they produce? 70k is a lot of money bubba. Not many people can afford that kinda purchase. How many wagons are made across all auto brands? I would never drive an SUV. I’d only buy a sedan. So I’d buy a wagon, maybe. I just don’t see a future for them. It’s like a hybrid of an SUV and a sedan. Which is why I said niche. People never drove electric cars 15 years ago. We might be arguing about VCR’s and Cassette players for all we know LOL. Who knows what we’ll be driving. And quite frankly who cares. I’m just blabbering on these forums. All for fun man. Cheers
There are a lot of wealthy people who buy a lot of very expensive cars. In 2019 Ferrari had its first 10K sales numbers totaling $4.5 Billion in sales revenue and just over 1 billion in profit. I know, small sales volume by VW or Toyota standards but these are very expensive cars. Agreed, wagon sales in North America are limited but in many other countries they account for decent sales where they equal SUV sales. Yes, who knows what we'll be driving and hopefully I won't be forced to 'drive' in autonomous cars only in my lifetime LOL!

2020 E450 Wagon
This thread is very USA orientated, here is a list and many are I guess not sold in the USA:- https://www.whatcar.com/category/estate
MB All Terrain (2021)
E450 Estate (all years to 2020)
Audi A6 AllRoad (2018 - 2021)
Audi A4 AllRoad (all years - 2021)
Jaguar XF Estate (2018 - 2020)
VW Jetta/Golf Estate (all years - 2019)
Buick TourX/Opel Insignia (2018 - 2020)
Volvo V90/Cross Country (2017 - 2021)
Volvo V60/Cross Country (2018 - 2021)
In Canada they also get the C-class estate which we do not get in the US. It is a pretty limited list of vehicles and some are no longer in the market place for 2021. You get some nice less premium estates in the UK like the Mazda 6. Unfortunately, I see the Subaru Levorg has the same lousy to drive CVT gearbox as all the Subaru's sold in North America.

MB makes 6 different wagons for MY2020, but only sells 1 in the US. The US is simply not interested in purchasing wagons.

I just saw another E63 wagon, granted it was passing through town on the freeway, but .. That makes 2 E63 wagon I've seen in the last two months, with one actually in town. I've also seen a C240 wagon at work, think it is mid 2000s.
