VW made a Golf R estate in the previous generation too, that we also didn't get here.

Yes, VW makes a wagon version of the Golf R. No, you can’t have it if you live in North America.
Sorry, we don’t make the rules.
Volkswagen recently announced the new 2022 model of the brand's Golf R Estate–essentially the wagon version of the Golf R, at least according to the spec sheet.
Like the Golf R, the Estate is powered by a 315-horsepower, turbocharged four-cylinder engine mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, with power sent to all four wheels through VW’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.
Also worth pointing out is this sentence in the press release: “New driving profiles Special and Drift. For maximum fun on the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife and during high-performance drifts.”
That’s right, VW added drifting as a feature on the 2022 model—and yes, we’re just as bummed as you are.
You should look on the bright side, though: At least these will be available to import come 2046.

Just a guess, but really dismal sales figures for the Golf All-Trac/All-Road...whatever, may be 1 reason why we don't get it.
Same story as always. US enthusiast pine for cool wagons on the web. Then they sell like 5 of them before they have to discount the crap out of it to move them. So I don't see another really cool wagon coming over for a long time.
And yes I did my part. Bought a Sportwagen AWD. 1 of 2 in Colorado springs.

100% this. But still, my heart yearns for something like this. I'd love to replace the Fusion with something with a hatch, but it will probably end up being a crossover/SUV.

Yeah, those are damn pretty:
I don't understand the fascination for bloated station wagon versions of cars
I don't understand the fascination for the less practical sedan versions of wagons.

The previous ST wagons are amazing, I would love to have one.

When I bought my GTI I was seriously considering an all trac. Had it been available with the GTI or the golf r engine I would be in one right now. One reason for crappy sales on it is the fact that they put the 1.8 in there. And if it had more power VW tuner community would snatch them up much faster.
