Mazda looks like Magneto’s helmet...

Hardly possible since Isuzu is long gone from the US, but the VehiCross was, and is still, super cool.

In this market the Chevy Trax is the right answer.

Even though it’s an automatic, I love my 5 sport. Bought new in 2010 with 8 miles, now at 258,xxx and still running. A little slower, but still solid.

Envista GNX!

Good nomination. I actually like the Buick Envista cousin, but the engines in these are a no-go for me.

The new Chevy Trax, it has a nice hatch/wagon shape but is hampered by only offering the 1.2T. It would look really good dropped a few inches, then drop in the 2.0T or 2.5T, add AWD if possible, swap out the 6 speed auto an 8 auto (I’d say manual but trying to be realistic with the present market). A 250 or so hp Trax…

I think you meant to type Car & Driver, and their’s didn’t really ever run properly. The best Boss Wagon they ever did was the Volvo 265 imo but I digress: https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15143471/holy-conestoga-sven-its-boss-wagon-iii-archived-feature/.

This is the correct answer. Mazdaspeed all the things. And put manuals back in them!

I’ll go one further - every single Mazda. They already want to be a budget alternative to the Germans, who do M/AMG/RS versions of just about every car they build. I’m not saying I’d have bought a Mazdaspeed CX-5 (because I’m cheap), but I’d have lusted after it stronger than the regular turbo I wasn’t willing to…

The Tahoe/Suburban are the kings of this category. That’s probably a good thing.

The Dodge Avenger is such a hatefully awful car, representing the worst parts of “Chrysler” and every name the company has been under during my lifetime, which is 5 if my count is correct.

I can understand why it wouldn’t leap to mind, but I fucking loved the Mazdaspeed Protege 5.
