I had an older V60 for a few months...loved that thing.
retrofitted headlights...did some springs on it and spacers...
only vehicle I've ever had that got over 30 mpg easily.

From: where the weather suits my clothes
The only difference i see between a CUV and a Wagon is the height...
So in other words, Americans all want to sit higher than others but when everyone all got a CUV/SUV, no one is sitting higher anymore

It is some weird logic i just dont understand.

It's also a perception that wagon = minivan because they were both the family haulers of their time. Most of the wagons posted on here wouldn't sell well simply because of the six figure price tags associated with them.

Thinking about renting an E-Class wagon for a German vacation this year. How many suitcases do you think it will hold in the back (without folding down the second row seats? 4 US standard carry-ons? Or should I do 2 carry-ons and 1 large?
I rented a BMW wagon last time I went to Germany and it was a blast.

For your baggage, it shoud be ample space.

If you could find one.. M340D Touring.
I have heard of a lot of good things about it but never get to experience it since it is not available here (Both touring and i6 diesel
) B58+Diesel+48V Mild Hybrid
Well, it's from a car rental place, so you actually don't know what you will get until you pick it up. So it's advertised as "Mercedes-Benz E- Klasse T-Model or similar". So I take that to mean I could also be given an Audi A6 wagon or something else in that class. Or I might get a free upgrade to an Audi RS6 Avant. 
I'm just concerned about cargo space. If I get really concerned, I might have to go for a "Volkswagen Sharan or similar"
