Can you name them all?
We’re probably stating the obvious here, but SUVs and crossovers practically killed several vehicle segments. Call these vehicles revolutionary products or marketing brilliance, the extra ground clearance, the promise of practicality, and the idea of making adventures with them has had millions of people sold.
Yes, they’re still immensely popular in Europe, but over here , the good ol’ wagon is nearly extinct. Locally, there are less than ten of them available for sale. Ironically, the original body style designed with families and versatility in mind has become a niche choice these days. If you’d like to have an Audi A4 in the Philippines, the only way to go is with the top-dog RS4. It’s only available as a wagon , and it’s probably a wealthy person’s idea of the perfect one-car solution. It’s not too large and the Quattro all-wheel drive system keeps the driver out of trouble rain or shine. It also helps that it has a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 that doles out 444hp and 600Nm of torque. If that’s not enough, there’s the second option from Audi.
It seems that BMW Philippines didn’t want Audi to have the hot station wagon niche all to itself. One could say that bit of friendly competition has led to the M3 Touring being available in the country. We’re not complaining, though, as it retains all the hallmarks of the 3-Series Touring but with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo straight-six rocket attached to the front. With 510hp and 650Nm of torque under the hood, it’s a fast way to move things around.
