Space shuttle - Holden Sportwagon John Carey | September 1, 2008 After almost a year without one in its line-up, Holden has a new Commodore-based wagon poised for a spectacular re-entry... Richard Ferlazzo is a self-confessed long-term wagon dag. For the past 20 years the GM Holden chief designer claims to have owned nothing else, but for a man whose skill with the felt-tips is considerable – he penned the 2005 Efijy concept coupe, a car of exceptional (and award-winning) beauty – those wagon-bound decades must have dragged. “Wagons are second only to people-movers in lack of desirability,” says Ferlazzo, speaking with the unmistakable authority of someone with first-hand knowledge. But he’s also talking about the past, because Holden’s hearse-drawn wagon era is about to come to a very welcome end. This isn’t exactly a surprise. Holden first revealed the VE Commodore Sportwagon at the Sydney motor show last October. From the moment the curtain went up it was obvious that the new wagon was a car in which pert proportions had equal billing with pragmatic considerations. Back then, hard information was scant. Now, with the arrival of the Sportwagon in Holden showrooms imminent, Ferlazzo’s the man chosen to deliver the background briefing on the newest VE variant’s design genesis.

Just thought I'd drop this one in guys. I know it isn't a real wagon but still, there is something available in the wagon world. When I checked it out, it was more like a hatchback. I'm going to test drive one in the next few weeks and I'll post the review.
