We certainly could have done with a flash piece of kit like this when we were courting the young ladies at the drive-in. Sadly drive-ins are now pretty much defunct as are station wagons.
However, Holden's brave attempt to keep the wagon dream alive should be applauded.
It is an eminently suitable long-distance tourer and hauler with an enormous flat-floored cargo area, plenty of airy cabin space and comfortable seats. Perfect for the summer driving holidays.

However, the 13.9L/100km thirst and aging interior (yes, even after just three years), count against it.
