Haha, you should see my rendition of the “upcoming” wagon.

Does he look before baaaacking?

Haha it really speaks to my failure to capture the sleek proportions of the sedan or even the SUV for that matter. The Lucid is already it’s more of an Outback than a Forester but I really want it to be more like the Legacy wagon we didn’t get.

Your car is now officially its own garage. Congratulations.

If a car can fit assuming no giant piles of crap loosely stuffed in bins up to the ceiling that is.

What self respecting coal roller had a truck that can fit in a garage?

Reminds me of this Dodge Charger I used to see around that was totally stock except for plastidipped wheels and rear side marker light delete. It looked more like bad accident repair but I know they took them off on purpose. I am baffled.

Because aero (albeit tiny gains) and people really need to rub in that they have an EV.

I tried doing the rear of the SUV on the sedan lower body cladding and ride weight / wheel wells but I botched the proportions. Looks more like the world’s coolest MPV instead of a rakish electric wagon. Hey, I never claimed to be an artist.

Ok, so that sedan is actually drop dead gorgeous from some angles. But what I really want to know is what a wagon would look like using the rear cargo area of the SUV on the sedan’s body. It’s already very close if you choose to visually block out the black plastic on the SUV and imagine smaller wheels / wheel arches.

I remember when they tried to revive the industry sans holes by building mounds of snow and calling them hill photographers. Unfortunately the angle was far less aesthetically pleasing and once again incidents came to attention involving elk. The experiment was short lived. 

If it is anything like the MKZ, then it drives very well, is extremely quick, handles far better than something of its mass has any right to, and is supremely comfortable. Plus it is a seriously good looking car inside and out.

I don’t fault you for that. The Mustang, F150, and presumably the Bronco are all great cars and trucks, but I have had enough bad experiences to be wary of them.

If my computer wasn’t having a small death, I would link here to a review I wrote of my grandfather’s Lincoln MKZ. It pretty much sums up the problem with Ford. Fantastic driving dynamics, great materials, unique and classy interior design, and falling apart after only a few years of low mileage old man driving plus…

I based that entirely made up fact based on when abouts I started noticing full sized trucks and SUVs get highway mileage that didn’t suck even when compared to much smaller, lighter, and smaller displacement engines.

Agreed. The European Fords were dramatically better engineered than the American ones with the exception of the current gen Mustang and F150. Those were messed up by quality control not unsatisfactory materials, structure, power train, interior design, etc but had some saving graces.

My brother’s 2012 Ford Fusion has an interior that looks like it has been sitting in the sun for 30 years. It has spent 6 years outside and often under a car cover and has tinted windows. My 2012 Chevy Cruze has never been out from the sun for an extended period of time and doesn’t have tinted windows and it still…

I love what Ford does with cars in theory, but I have been around a whole lot of them and I’ve never known one that didn’t have catastrophic build and quality control problems.

I suppose i forgot he actually has a lifestyle these supposed lifestyle vehicles are supposed to cater to. That, and two kids isn’t ideal in a Kona. You’re right, he needs something larger with a long roof for a big bike rack and cargo space.
