[quote robfilms]i would love for ford to turn the 500 into a stationwagon that seats 7 forward facing passengers.
Dude, they've done that. It's called the Freestyle.
What's happened, for those who aren't paying attention, is that the station wagon market is still alive--but for some reason, the marketers have decided that what people want are an "SUV". So instead of building a conventional station wagon version of a car, they lift it a few inches and give it an SUV look.
But in the end, what they're doing is taking the sedan platform and building a wagon version of it.
