For a luxury car company that used to be quite small, Lexus makes a lot of cars, and they are only going to get more numerous. However, many fans have noticed there haven't been any wagons since the IS had such a version.
With the way things are going, Europe is not going to turn into the home of the Lexus wagon. Crossover sales there are increasing at double-digit rates every year. So the next Japanese luxury family car is likely to come from America. And what better model to start with than the ES.

It's front-wheel drive, so the trunk can be pushed flat into the body of the car, thanks to the lack of a differential. Also, we've seen American automakers showing more interest in hatchback, with notable examples coming from within General Motors.

imagined a wagon based on the 2016 model year Lexus ES. As he puts it, it doesn't look half bad. It's got roof rails for your bikes and a trunk big enough for your weekly Wholefoods spree. However, we have to point of that an ES wagon won't happen within this model generation.

The name "SportCross" is one most people forgot. It belonged to the IS wagon that was available many years ago, and can still be seen at low-rider events in Japan.

The wagon is a common theme within the car rendering community. It's a simple transformation that Internet dwellers like. From the Mazda MX-5 to the BMW i8, everything has a big butt version made up only of megapixels. But it's not all for the realm of the fanciful. For example, the most popular Skoda in Germany is the Octavia Combi, and we think it's followed by the Fabia Combi and Yeti. So yes, people there do like to have a trunk big enough for crates, which is probably why the Toyota Auris (Corolla iM) is stretched out over there.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
