But we already get the GLA and the B-Class. I wonder how many people will actually buy it?

“wagon”, it looks like a damn hatchback. It looks like a borderline wagon.

If you want a FWD wagon, just buy the Volvo

This thing is 2" shorter and has 1.5" less ground clearance than my Outback. It is also front wheel drive while the Outback is AWD. I’m trying to figure out which one is the wagon and which one is the crossover. Seriously, though, I’ve been seeing more and more of these and other new compact “luxury crossovers” recently and it is amazing how they make my Outback look like more of an “SUV” than it did 4 years ago when I bought it.

More examples...

QX30 is only called a SUV because people only buy crossover these days. It isn’t a crossover elsewhere. And I would argue the GLA is not a Crossover either.

They’re all hatchbacks, but we all know hatchbacks are for the plebs. There is no such thing as a luxury hatchback.

Sportcross.

Adding an X raises the suspension, adding Sport lowers it. So Sportcross really just mean a regular wagon.

Awd is Awd. Just because it’s not 1ton solid axles and a 500lbs transferable doesn’t mean it won’t get the job done.

The wagon look muuuuuuuuuuch better than the sedan. I’ve seen them in person.

It’s coming?! That’s exciting! I spotted this one in Amsterdam last spring and my girlfriend was very confused why I was so excited to see a grey Mercedes.
