The Sportwagen is another one that has been a stand-out in the past, but the numbers have been sliding for the past five years. You still see them out there but sales of the newest model, the Golf Sportwagen that was introduced for MY2015, have not been hot. And that was before the diesel scandal broke which certainly hasn't helped - as much as 90% of them were diesel in the past. The new Alltrack will probably take another chunk too. In fact, I could see it taking over completely in the next five years, like the Audi allroad eventually did for the A4 Avant.
