I agree that it looks too much like a station wagon but driving aournd in an SUV wanna be that is really a souped up Camry station wagon and can't go off-road feels even more stupid i.m.o. :-). So I like the rediesn a lot more. I have no illusions of ever driving on anything more rough then a snowed over parking lot or maybe a gravel road (once in a blue moon).

I want a station wagon not something "rugged". I want a car that is practical. In my mind the Volvo station wagons and the mercedes fills that roles. SUV (especially the tough looking cross overs) are just silly to me :-)
