Sadly there is a wagon version in addition to a 5-door hatchback version in Europe. Maybe if we start calling them estates instead of station wagons, they'll become more popular. I think addison is more-or-less correct. Ford just knows the US market will accept MPVs like C-Max or CUVs like the Escape in its place.
