Mercedes just released info on their new, up and coming E-Class wagon, or as they are known in The Old Country, Estates. Actually, the Germans make a funny by titling their announcement: “The new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate, Intelligent (E)state-of-the-art”. How droll. At any rate, what this is, is a much better alternative to using an SUV, if you ask me.
Wagons, er, estates, are much more popular in Europe than they are here. They’re popular for all the reasons our parents bought them when we were kids: Practicality. Then the SUV came along, and seemed more practical, or at least cooler than a wagon, and now their popularity has dropped off. That doesn’t mean, however, that a well thought out wagon is not without its charms.
