Well, sure, if you aren't a wagon fan or potential buyer, you can safely ignore this one too. But there are lots of enthusiasts who do love wagons, and small as it may be, there absolutely is a market for wagons in the US (the Sportwagen being the poster child).
A Golf R (or any Golf) doesn't work as a small SUV alternative because it lacks the cargo space. The Sportwagen rectifies this. So, now you can make the case against the small SUV (even if it still doesn't quite match some of them in interior room). And those things easily crest $35k. For similar money, I'll take the solution that handles like a sport sedan, accelerates like a sport sedan, and is over all much more fun to drive. And that's regardless of what the hell it looks like because frankly a small SUV isn't winning a beauty contest either. Luckily, in my case, I think it looks good, and the pics I posted earlier show the potential (the mules - like all mules - make the car look like a disaster, nothing new there).
