Not even close to a Taurus wagon!

Nope, that's a modified Crown Vic.

I voted for wagon and coupe, although there isn't much of a full sized coupe market.

The Taurus X, though based on the Taurus, isn't a true wagon. It's a crossover. A true wagon of a passenger sedan has close to the same height and mpg. About the only affordable true wagon today is the Kia Spectra5 which is styled like the Protege5. The Spectra5 is slightly longer and heavier than the Protege5. Saab, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW, and Audi offer wagons of their sedans because wagons are popular in Europe. According to "Top Gear", they are called Saloons instead of wagons. Thanks to that show I learned a trunk is a boot, a hood is a bonnet, and a station wagon is a saloon.

Yeah and I was thinking southern meant the big Ford wagon in the old Lampoons, so that was my mistake.
