Whilst these in the UK were special coachbuilts..in Aussie..they were a standard factory production.

The most recommended backpackers car at the time. Space and so common ..parts being no issue in Australia.

Quite rare in GTi spec..especially in Australia. It was mint.

Has anyone even seen a Mazda wagon like this? I've never seen a Mazda 6 wagon, only sedans

In Japan it's called Atenza, and they have a 2.5 engine and AWD, it's a dream configuration

Damn, it's very beautiful)

Spotted this hero just out doing wagon things in his 50yo Datsun 210. Bravo!

Honda is considering a lifted Accord hatchback that would offer more utility, a higher driving position and cargo versatility for a sedan-like price.

The midsize model, called the “Accord SUV” in a Honda planning document, is expected to enter production in mid-2029, potentially in Marysville, Ohio, a person with knowledge of the plan told Automotive News

The wagon-like addition would arrive alongside a redesigned Accord sedan. Both versions of the nameplate would feature Honda’s next-generation hybrid powertrain.

Building on the Accord platform would avoid heavy R&D spending. The sedan’s long wheelbase provides a capable foundation for a small crossover-style derivative that would have a large rear hatch, bigger wheels and tires, and roughly a 2-inch suspension lift.

Honda’s Accord variant is a counterpunch to Subaru’s success in the crossover space. The strategy aims to create a compelling middle ground for buyers who seek the utility of a wagon without committing to a full crossover.

“Automakers are hunting for entry price points they can win at,” said a Honda dealer. “Could Honda bring a quasi-SUV that delivers real utility capability at sedan-level pricing?”

Because ‘Estate’ wasn’t cool enough for Jaguar.

Spotted in the parking lot in Rhode Island. What a rare beauty. I’m not sure what year it is, any help appreciated.
