    • 2009 July 12, Lawrence Ulrich, “What’s Become of the Wagon?”, in New York Times[1]:
      Even among import brands where you’d expect die-hard wagonistas to be lurking, crossovers threaten to snuff their more carlike siblings: Audi sold nearly 21,000 of its big Q7 crossover in 2007, compared with barely 2,800 of its sprightly A4 Avant wagon and just 758 of the larger A6 wagon.
