And that was before the diesel scandal broke which certainly hasn't helped - as much as 90% of them were diesel in the past. The new Alltrack will probably take another chunk too. In fact, I could see it taking over completely in the next five years, like the Audi allroad eventually did for the A4 Avant.
For Geneva there are plans for a Concept Car VW Golf SUV model so when that comes its Adios to the Sportwagon and welcome the possibility of the Mexico (Or USA) built SUV equivalent.
BMW currently have a Sportwagon and they still will in the future but its called the X3 and its more reflective to the American market in which is demanded and by the consumer wanted.
