With the impala returning to RWD, what do you think the chances are that a wagon version of the impala will be offered?

 

Chevy needs a station wagon, being they don't have one anymore. Commodore wagons should be out this time next year. If Holden can find a way make money on the number they sell, I'd expect GM to as well.

However, I haven't seen any evidence GM-NA is intrested.

 

the Malibu Maxx and HHR are as close to a wagon as Chevy has. Both are cool, but not your traditional wagon like the Dodge Magnum.

If Chevy does offer an impala wagon, I really hope they offer it in SS trim to counter the Magnum SRT8

 

Talk about comming full cycle... Imagine that. Coupe market opens back up, main stream sedans go back RWD, and the wagon returns after being snubbed by the minivan and more carlike riding SUV's...

 

Exactly. Probably at least half of SUV owners could be better served in a wagon.

 

maxx is gone in 08.

 

Not really. I do things in my SUV I'd never dream of trying in a wagon.

 

With Malibu Maxx going away when the new Malibu arrives, I think it'd be a good thing for Chevy to offer another wagon, and an Impala variant could work out well!

 

Chevy has a Lambda coming.......

 

GM's only conventional wagon will probably be the Opel that Saturn will import in a few years. I miss wagons like the Country Squire, Estate Wagon, etc., even the Taurus wagon and am disappointed in the rumors about Ford dropping the Focus wagon. Crossovers and SUV's are too much for me.

 

Scary.

 

Then you might have been in the half of people that had one before it was fashionable.

 

I use my Tahoe like a truck. Hauling furniture, lumber, car parts, you name it. I also use it for hauling people, as its the only vehicle I own that can seat 9 adults. (Yes I have the LS with the 60/40 bench.) I drive over curbs, huge dips etc, places I'd never try to drive a station wagon. (It drives my wife nuts, "you drive this thing like a truck!" "Well, it is a truck." ) But it is also smooth on long trips to LA and back. (My mother-in-law once commented it was as comfortable as a Cadillac. )

Yes, I use my SUV for exactly what it was intended, as a "utility" vehicle.

 

you mean you just don't use it to go to starbucks with it?

 

My starbucks doesn't even have a drive thru! Say... I'll bet if I punch the accelerator I could fit it through that front window and park it right next to the counter.
