Not even. They're FG T or XR8 wheels.

They would look much better in 20" on the wagon though.

I think the rear of the roof needs to slightly 'bobtail' up as well.

All wagons these days taper off at the rear and there is quite often some sort of spoiler on the top of the rear door that looks pox, I reckon.

If it's going to be marketed as a 'sportswagon' then some people would probably like to send them round a race track or two. A rear 'bobtail' that has been designed correctly could aid in downforce at high speed. :headbang2:

I just bought a new sportwagon and its great, Ford has missed the boat with no wagon and how can they match a car (sedan) at $29990 drive away with leather ,bluetooth and reverse sensors.

The only thing Holdens Sportswagon has managed to do is steal sales away from VE sedans, so Expensive Daewoo have spent a lot of money on a wagon that has added next to no extra sales for them. They sold over 1000 wagons the first few months on sale, but there sales are still lower than what they were when the wagon wasn't available.

Ford will never build an FG wagon, the BF3 still sells over 400 a month and since all the R&D money has been payed for its quite profitable for them. They planned to cut the wagon when sales got low enough after the Territory was released but it hasn't happened, the fleets love them. Building an FG Sportswagon would add next to no extra sales and it would cost a bomb. The Territory is Fords sportswagon, while the BF3 is the work wagon. Between them they have the market covered, and combined sell a lot more than the VE wagon does.

well said my friend

Looks good to me. To me is looks a bit like a hatch back. Could just be the pic though. I dont think we will see a FG wagon due to the not so good sales and as others have said we already have the mighty terri

This is all probably true , most reps dont care what wagon they drive. My private car is an F6 , so I found it hard to even consider the BF3 wagon , but after I drove it the handling, especially at the rear didnt feel right. When I got out to take a look I realised they must have had a lot of rear suspension components left over from the 70s because they had put them in this car.
