| Wife had a Volvo station wagon and after some years she replaced it with a
new Camry XLE. The XLE is great but she missed the space and function of the
wagon whenever she does some major shopping. She doesn't like the mini vans
or SUVs as its too big and not so good on gas. If nothing else is available
it seems like she is go back for a new Volvo wagon again. Will Toyota make a
Camry or Avalon wagon?

It sounds like she needs a Matrix, they are easy on gas and very
versatile.

She would not go for the Matrix although I don't mine having one. She is too
used to power everything including the power heated leather seats, premium
stereo, GPS, etc. She love to have the 300hp engine that gets close to 30mpg
freeway miles on the Avalon - a serious shopper who needs the speed and
comfort to get to Target or Costco. >> Stay informed about: Will Toyota ever make a station wagon again? |

They do make a Camry wagon. It's called the Highlander. >> Stay informed about: Will Toyota ever make a station wagon again? |

We had a Volvo Cross Country (AWD) Wagon which we replaced with a Toyota
Highlander AWD V6 Limited because My wife wanted something that would put
her a little higher for better visibility. The amenities in the Toyota are
as good as the Volvo, the ride is as comfortable, and the mileage is the
same. The Volvo did handle a little better but visibility from the
Highlander is much better. And yes, the Highlander is a Camry Wagon.

They SHOULD. My son has a 96 Camry wagon. Every 2-3 weeks, someone
approaches him and asks if he wants to sell it. If it wasn't in mint
condition, he probably do it, but where else would he get a replacement for
$5,000.00 ? >> Stay informed about: Will Toyota ever make a station wagon again? |

They do...they just don't import them any more.
Maybe, someday. They were selling the Yaris in other parts of the world 3
years before they started selling it here... >> Stay informed about: Will Toyota ever make a station wagon again? |

At this point, basic marketing should come into play. Suggest
that he ask of any future enquirers whatever sum he would need
to replace the current wagon with something that would satisfy
him as much. If enquirer is prepared to pay, son is laughing.

Yup....
I've got a '92 Corolla wagon that is doing just fine at 204,000.
I see a few Camry wagons running around.
I have NO idea why they don't make a Camry and Corolla Wagon. I might
buy one in ten year...LOL
