The current model lineup of Japanese automaker Lexus doesn’t include a single station wagon. But that’s a golden opportunity for a certain virtual artist that has embarked on a CGI quest of “touring the world.”
With all things going around the automotive and normal worlds, it’s no wonder that everyone is trying to ensure their survival. For car companies, that means ditching or not caring about certain segments of the market.
And because everything revolves around crossovers, SUVs, and trucks these days, it’s no surprise some brands don’t even have entries into so-called dying segments. Lexus, for example, has decided to focus on sedans, coupes/convertibles, and crossover SUVs above all else.
Look as much as you like, but there’s no Lexus station wagon in the real world right now. Unlike the virtually limitless plains and canyon roads of imagination land, where practical Lexus models are all the rage for a certain pixel master.
Sugar Chow, the virtual artist behind the sugardesign_1 account on social media is on a mission of digitally “touring the world!” So, it’s only logical to imagine that he’s focused on station wagons above all else. And that’s usually true, save for the occasional derailment into other territories.
But as far as Lexus is concerned, he is relentlessly making sure we hope the Japanese company sees his creations and decides to act upon the first impulse. And he’s catering to the needs of every segment, it seems. So, he recently started with a cool IS F Sportwagon that looked decidedly ready for an elegant V8 performance life.
Now, while the work on the flagship LS wagon is ongoing, he found time to portray a possible (yet improbable) ES “Estate” station wagon. Depicted here in a matching ritzy environment, the executive sedan based on the Toyota Avalon shows there’s still a need for practical yet luxurious cars in our life.
If only automakers would act upon impulses based on such elegant projects. Then, if they only fitted such an ES wagon with an F Sport Performance V8 powertrain... that would certainly make the day for station wagon fans!
