I like the sports wagon title by FrankMc

I think if SUV's had been called Utility Vehicles rather than Sports Utility Vehicles their sales would be down. I think whomever invented the term was a marketing genius. Station Wagon, old fashioned... sports wagon ... trendy

What are the chances for the mazda MX sport tourer? by nakins

Maybe I looked in the wrong category for posts about the MX sport tourer. I wonder what the chances are for it being produced in either it's current form or just a gas engine model. I think this car is great. Just the body style alone makes this car sit on the top of my want list. I'm a middle aged man, and have been a motorhead all my life. This car is well thought out to give a good balance between form and function, style and substance. I hope I get a chance to buy this car. I read that the 626 wagon replacement might look something like this. I wouldn't care if they didn't have the sliding roof glass, although it would be nice. Change the headlights and taillights, and even the grill if you want, but build this car! I want one!

Mazda will have an RX coupe, likely with suicide style rear doors. They'll use the same chassis for the next Miata, too.
 
So the parts are all in place, they just have to make the decision. The Protoge5 is cute but many folks may find it a bit small.

Mazda 6 Station Wagon by revka

According to articles I've read, Mazda's current plans include only the 2003 Mazda 6 sedan for North America. However, we could also see the wagon version over here if Mazda feels there's a market for it. Read more about the Mazda 6 in Edmund's Preview of the 2003 Mazda 6, by D. John Booth.
 

  What do you think?

I love it! Who says wagons can't be stylish? Very nice!
 
219 hp, 5 speed auto, side and side curtain air bags, chain driven cams, ... sounds good. Make AWD an option and they couldn't build enough of them.

My feelings too. I recently decided I want a wagon/mini-ute to replace my Accord. We have an Ody but with 2 kids you gotta have lots of room to carry their stuff in the other car as well. AWD would be nice but I've lived in snow country forever and survived without it.
 
With rumors of Mazda and Honda planning wagons for 2003, I'm starting to have options for a midsize wagon without going into the $30K+ area (hopefully). Sorry Tex, I can't deal with the lack of a real sliding sunroof in the Subes!!
 
Things are going to get interesting in this arena next year.

The rumor mill gets hot!!!
 
I've read here the rumors and thoughts of many people that Honda may offer an Accord wagon in North America because:
 
2003 expected new model release - perfect time to do it.
 
The Avancier and Aerodeck are good base points to work from.
 
The supposed Honda version of the MDX is going to be even bigger than that - somewhere near Tahoe size. An MDX sized Honda might compete against an AWD Honda Wagon.
 
Wagons (rather Avants, Variants, Tourings, Sportcrosses, 5's) are hot right now. I don't think Honda wants to miss out on these categories now. The last Accord wagon came out when SUV's were starting to heat up. Imagine if Honda introduced a real Odyssey a few years ago.
 
Since Honda plays it close to the vest, we'll know when they want us to know. Until then, I will keep hoping the rumors are true.
 
As an aside - the proper pronunciation is Te-sheerrrrrrr-ah, correct? I'm half Portugee/half Brazilian myself.

Avancier looks much nicer than Aerodeck.
 
Other names used include Estate, Versatility, and sport wagon.
 
Your pronunciation is perfect. Lots of Portugues names end with "eira", and most are a type of tree.
