As far as I'm aware, Acura is to Honda as Infinity is to Nissan.

Bloody caravanner's, he's only taking up 5 spaces, another more considerate

I think it still is, after a quick google they have more load space than the 300 series, Prado and Everest.
Hence why these cars are so practical without most people realising.
But hey, room temp IQ car buyers insist Rav4, Sorrento etc are a necessity.

Reason people are buying everything else except for Falcon Wagon is because there are no more new Falcons available, you are quite welcome to stay in your time warp.

I happily will, you need a very large SUV (like American or Mercedes GL Class) to offer the same amount of load space as a Falcon wagon.
But it goes for all wagons even though there’s only a handful left on the new car market.
The rise of retardedly driven shit box SUVs and the hollow justification people have for buying them was well under way when the Falcon was available.
That extends to other wagons as well, Mondeo, Mazda 6, Passat etc.
Not a chance a RAV4, Hyundai ix35 and whatever else is more practical than a medium - large wagon despite sales figures saying otherwise.

Don't know about the wagon but the van has plenty of good old fashion practical room.
