Holden Wagon to be precise. Why upside down? Because it is only in Australia. GM make this right, bring this here.

In order for it to work here, super sticky tires, or gravity thrusters will be needed.

Nobody would buy it except for car enthusiasts.
The US market says they want crossovers, but don't realize that a station wagon would serve all their needs better.

Spider car, spider car, does whatever a spider car can
Can it swing, from a web, probably not without a recall again
Look out, here comes the spider car

If this were a US market car, I might not have bought a Magnum.

A limited run would be fine. If they sold the ute here (and if I actually had money) I would definitely have a ute.

Magnums are cool too, especially with the Hemi.

If you remember in 2008 GM was supposedly set to give us a Pontiac G8 Ute. I told my wife that I was absolutely buying one. Damn, I really wanted that Ute.

WE WERE SO CLOSE!!! I would have had a hard time choosing that or my Silverado.

That's what I've got. Admittedly though, I'm not really a mopar guy. I'd rather have a GM all day long (not sure if that's safe anymore though, given all the recalls), it's just how I am. I just like GMs cars more.
But I wanted a wagon, I wanted a muscle car, I wanted something with RWD, and the Magnum was the only thing that could check off all those items. Bonus points, with the MDS system, it doesn't even break the bank, something around 20ish MPG combined for me driving with frugal in mind.

I'm usually GM first for muscle cars, but Mopars are a good fall back. At least they were trying with wagons. The Caddy is cool but too expensive.

Exactly! I met a guy who bought a 2014 CTS-V Wagon, because this is the last year for them, and I was so disappointed he bought an automatic. If it's the last year, you have to go all out. But he DDs it, and seemed to be in his late 40's, so it was more of a convenience thing, so whatever makes him happy. It's just such a special run of them.
But that price tag is way too high, even for a Caddy.
I'm not a mopar convert, but I'm pretty happy with the Magnum overall.

You can buy one in the U.K. along with the sedan (VXR8) and the ute (Maloo) from a Vauxhall dealership but as I found out not all dealerships are allowed to order one which I thought was strange but the salesman told me where I can place an order if I wanted to.

Arghh! Ye', sorry I meant you as in people in general in the U.K. And Ireland rather than you specifically. My bad.

Thanks for this! Being in Australia usually everything I see on Oppo is upside down, nice to see something right-side-up for a change. My neck is grateful.
On a related note, here's what I regularly park next to at work:
This one is usually parked a few spaces away:

Anything to help an Oz in need. Also that blue is absolutely sexy.
