Wish I could order a replacement wagon but you can't in the USA.

The sales man says that they are going to stop importing the 3 wagon as well.

So for now I will keep my E61 and will probably move to an MB 2017 wagon when they come out.

When the time comes, we'll buy a Mercedes-Benz station wagon too.

Not surprising, Americans still want SUVs and 'crossovers' more than anything else. The next segment you'll see disappear in the next 10 to 20 years is the conventional four door sedan. The car industry and the car itself its being homogenized. Sucks, but that's how it is.

I guess I'll admit, the C63 AMG is one bad ass wagon.

too bad only the E class wagon is available.
I rode a 2013 one, with all the bells, but it felt heavy and definitely less sporty thank the 535

Soon enough the E-Class wagon will disappear and be replaced by another egg-like car, the GLE Coupe, similar to the BMW GTs...sad!
I hope I am wrong though.
