Are there any wagons left for America? I dont really count the S6 Avant or M5 in this, given the price/performance and there's no way that I would treat it like, well, a family car.

Oh yeah, it's also a wee bit more expensive than a Sportwagen. Well, actually, it's more expensive than at least 3 Sportwagens, maybe 4.

Yep. Anything I’d replace mine with is either really boring or hideously expensive.

Volvo V60 and V90
Audi Allroad A4 and A6
MB E Wagon
Porsche Taycan Turismo

each is at least an upscale car (starting at $50k).

The Volvo V60 Plus in hybrid looks pretty sweet to me, though still not cheap by any means.

Does $50k even qualify as upscale anymore?

The A6 Avant does look pretty good - probably way too nice to fill up with mountain bike mud, dog hair and goldfish.
