Many of us have thought that there would be an Acura wagon sometime in the future. Now, with the release of the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon, it seems we were right. In order to compete with Cadillac, Acura will need a wagon of some sort. So, we now have the Acura TSX wagon, but what about those of us who want a little more luxury than what the TSX can offer. Autoblog and reader, Andrew Stump, have created a photograph of what they think a TL five-door would look like. By taking the front off of the TL and merging it with the roofline of the seven-seat MDX, Andrew has created something truly wonderful. That being said, like the normal TL, the looks aren’t for everybody. Under the hood, the regular TL comes with Acura’s 3.5-liter 280 horsepower V6 with 254 pound-feet of torque. For those who want a speedy wagon, the TL SH-AWD would get the 3.7-liter V6 with 305 horsepower. Though the TL wagon will probably never see the light of day, the TSX Sport Wagon will be here in the fall. "."

The IS300 Sportcross and Mercedes and BMW wagons never sold well, because while station wagons are great for families on a budget, those willing to spend luxury car bucks for a family vehicle will go for an SUV like the RX350 or X3. Station wagons are essentially for those who can’t afford an SUV, and anyone who can afford a luxury car such as an Acura can afford an SUV.
