IS THAT A BAD THING ? 8-) SURELY NOT... AND I THINK ITS A GREAT LOOKING CAR.. NOT MANY MANUFACTURERS MAKE A NICE REAR ENDED WAGON... I MEAN, EL,AU , BA ARE ABSOLUTELY DATED AND HORRID... THIS IS MORE UP TO DATE.. ABOUT TIME TOO AS I THINK THE HOLDENS COMMODORE( EUROPEAN OMEGA ESTATE ) HAS BEEN THE BEST LOOKING FROM REAR FOR 10 YEARS...

TRY THE BUTTON BELOW THE [TAB] KEY :)

Looks pretty sweet. i like how the rear is more sedan like than having its own design. ass needs to be lower, but it still doesnt look...right?

This would have been a great idea 3 years ago.
Hence why Ford haven't thought of it yet.

Yeah im going to have to agree with you on that one, ford seem to be loosing it apart fromtheir FPV xr6t models,...
Even the ford ad's are fkin stupid compared to some of the holden ads (I picture some 60yr old fiss fart designing the ads for ford).

VE Sportswagon sales appear to not be adding anything worthwhile to Commodore sales - meaning that a lot of people who bought the wagons would probably have bought a Commodore sedan anyway if the wagon wasn't available. If Ford made an FG Sportwagon it would do the same thing - cannibalise FG sedan (or Territory) sales.

Ford seems to be selling a lot of BFIII wagons anyway.

Peronsally I like it, and I think it looks tons nicer then the VE wagon which imo looks wrong.. retarded. That thing actually has a bit of class about it.

This is true. If Ford spent huge $$ upgrading to a sports wagon it wont magically create a flood of potential customers from no-where. Sure some will be sucked from Holden and Orion/Territory but the sales have to far outweigh the costs involved. And i dont think it would happen. Hasnt been happening for any local product made for years.

Ford need to continue a practical wagon. The sport wagon isnt anywhere near big enough for the standard, printer, pokie machine, foxtel technican. The BF MK3 on LPG though is the way those companys are going. My 2nd dad was saying his boss is in a panic because there are not suitable replacements for the printer techs when the MK3s run out of lease. Its either a Terry, Sportwagon or Van. All 3 are not practical.
