Subaru did exactly that to their Legacy wagon and called it an Outback, has been selling tens of thousands of them for years. VW tried the same thing but marketed it poorly (Subaru happens to be firmly entrenched in the niche).

I bought an Alltrack because I wanted sedan like handling but with some extra ground clearance and a manual transmission (and I didn't want a SportWagen or a Subaru). I live on a hill and the city doesn't plow our street, the extra ground clearance is a plus.

Everybody's tastes are different - I prefer the Alltrack over the SportWagen.

They just put tiguan springs on it... LOL!

Late yesterday when I got home with the new to me sportwagen, I invited my brother to go for a drive with me. Boy did he grunt and moan getting himself down into the seat.
He is used to climbing up into his Ford F-250. And surburbans before that. Taller cars do have their appeal for some.

First one?

The red and tan 4 door wagon looks to me like a Chevy nova.

That vega is cool !!

Yes....second one was a coupe with a vinyl top!

Both Vegas lasted through my 5 years in college.

Then I got the '70 Volvo 145S after starting my first job out of college.

Can't find a pic of the coupe just now but here's another of the wagon and the Volvo.....

Me too. And I’d still like to find one. Those have to be the most unusual looking VW we got.
