No 6 wagon in North America, though...not even in Canada, where we got the old 6 wagon.

CAFE's classifications of vehicles are one of the (several) reasons there are so many more SUV and "crossover" models in North America now rather than more small, super-efficient cars. If it can get a "light truck" designation, then it doesn't have to get as good fuel economy to meet CAFE standards. A small hatchback, however, has to get much better fuel economy in order to meet the CAFE standards for it's size class - compact/subcompact/whatever it's called. Since it's easier and cheaper for automakers to just make slightly more efficient crossovers with tall cruising gears, and since people will buy them, that's what we get. At least, that's how I understand it. I think this topic came up some time ago.

Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize CAFE had changed.

KakerMix posted:So that awesome-as-heck Polestar V60 from Volvo is inching closer to release here in the USA. There are only going to be 120 of both the S60 and V60 versions brought here. Second, Canadians got a price listed for theirs (although it's not available in Rebel Blue) and it's higher than I thought it would be. No Rebel Blue? Ugh, what's the point, then?

Wow, that is the first time in a long, LONG while that I've seen a Civic and thought "I want that". If Honda has the balls to make the production model look like that, I will be seriously impressed.
