I have my eye on the Crown Sigma - AKA Crown Estate in other parts of the world.
Slightly lifted hybrid wagon with AWD. Essentially a more reliable, larger and more fuel efficient version of the VW Alltrack. It shares a platform with the Camry, RAV4, Highlander, and Sienna. Unfortunately it is expected to be priced to start about $45,000 - so I will not be buying one. I can't image a Crown will depreciate into my price range before they are 10 years old.
I'm not sure what the flip up panels when the rear seats are folded are for. I guess they would protect the faux leather seats from objects in the cargo area? Toyota says they are to extend the rear loading floor to 6.5 feet but that is obviously only if the front seats are all the way forward. I can't see too many people buying $45,000 - $55,000 wagons with the plan to sleep in the back.
