Wow, big props to VW to keeping the wagon alive!! Seems everyone else is killing the idea by turning them into a 4dr hatch with 0 trunk space. Does every car have to have AWD these days?? What's wrong with 2? The average person does not need AWD and the parasitic cost of driving 2 more wheels has to hurt economy no matter how you slice it.

Close VW, and thank you for keeping the wagon body alive outside of the small/crossover SUV platform, but you still missed the mark by incorporating AWD.
