That kind of surprises me because the Subies aren't floaters like the old wagons.
I remember a few times in the back of a Pontiac Bonneville wagon getting quesy on two lanes when we'd go on hunting trips with my Dad and his friends. But I always attributed that to the cigar smoke as I passed them "905 Beer" from the cooler next to me. lol (Can you believe they used to let you do that??)

My dad traded our 1966 Red Mustang Coupe 289 V8 for an ugly avocado green 1973 Gran Torino station wagon after the fourth child, my sister was born. It never hit the dealership parking lot as the salesman wisely snagged it for his wife. It was kinda mean looking from the front end but it was a land yacht.
My favorite Cadillac is the SLR which they stopped making after 2009.

Ah yes, the SLR...

sadly, don't think this would last too long in the USA - buyers would rather have SUVs or CUVs. the closest "power wagon" would be the Audi RS4 and that would be about it - seems they're acceptable in compacts, but no larger.

My first car was a Plymouth Fury III wagon with a slant 6, second car was the 73 LTD wagon, 400 in it and once you got it moving it flew. Raced Trans Am's with it, they got the jump but I kept up about a car lenghts back.

Heh, "if this wagon is ah rock'n, don't come ah knock'n"
On a different note, wagons are more slippery than thier coupe and sedan counterparts. A good example of this is the GT40 Bread Wagon

Hmmmm, well, I guess not every wagon is cool looking. I'll withhold final judgment for a better picture, but seems kind of odd to me.
Odder still since the regular Fisker is reeeeeally good looking. Maybe they let loose their Design B-staff on this project.
