While the newer models are nice, but IMHO they look like 5-door hatchbacks. "My" definition of a wagon is something large and in your face. I feel anything from the late 50's to early 80's fits the bill. It has to be a mid-line car maker. Pinto and Vega are cute but not for the family of five to seven people. My personal favorite for many years was the 1964 Ford Galaxie 500. Not the ranch wagon, the faux wood panels turn me off. Also the same year Chevrolet Impala. But a few years ago they were trumped down the list by 1957 Buick. Everyone has a personal favorite and those are mine.
