Wife had a Volvo station wagon and after some years she replaced it with a
new Camry XLE. The XLE is great but she missed the space and function of the
wagon whenever she does some major shopping. She doesn't like the mini vans
or SUVs as its too big and not so good on gas. If nothing else is available
it seems like she is go back for a new Volvo wagon again. Will Toyota make a
Camry or Avalon wagon?

It sounds like she needs a Matrix, they are easy on gas and very
versatile.

They SHOULD. My son has a 96 Camry wagon. Every 2-3 weeks, someone
approaches him and asks if he wants to sell it. If it wasn't in mint
condition, he probably do it, but where else would he get a replacement for
$5,000.00 ?

They do make a Camry wagon. It's called the Highlander.

She would not go for the Matrix although I don't mine having one. She is too
used to power everything including the power heated leather seats, premium
stereo, GPS, etc. She love to have the 300hp engine that gets close to 30mpg
freeway miles on the Avalon - a serious shopper who needs the speed and
comfort to get to Target or Costco.

I hope no one gets in her way....sounds like she takes shopping way to
seriously.

We had a Volvo Cross Country (AWD) Wagon which we replaced with a Toyota
Highlander AWD V6 Limited because My wife wanted something that would put
her a little higher for better visibility. The amenities in the Toyota are
as good as the Volvo, the ride is as comfortable, and the mileage is the
same. The Volvo did handle a little better but visibility from the
Highlander is much better. And yes, the Highlander is a Camry Wagon.

They do...they just don't import them any more.

Maybe, someday. They were selling the Yaris in other parts of the world 3
years before they started selling it here...

Not likely for the 'States, IMO. As you can see, enough people --
in U.S.A. at least -- mistake the presentday Highlander for a station
wagon as to make it moot. I have a low-mileage 1990 wagon. 1990 is on
that trim, pre-pregnancy, pre-turdmobile platform that runs forever as
long as it doesn't get run over.
