I had it real bad for sport wagons for a while. Dodge Magnum SRT8, MB E55 Wagon, stuff like that. All the cargo space, all the car go road.

The RS6 Avant is cool, but hideously expensive, and you're really.paying for being different vs the super SUVs that exist. The rumored M5 Touring however, is hideous. Taycan wagon similarly is absurdly expensive and has the drawbacks of an EV. Newer AMG wagons just don't appeal to me.

Hot hatches are cool, but similarly have crept up in price to the point that they're kinda pointless. You look at like a GTI vs. Kona N, it's hard to see why you'd spend the extra money on the smaller and less powerful GTI. X1 M35i vs Golf R, it's a similar story.

As hot hatches get bigger, and compact crossovers get smaller and cheaper, they're basically becoming one in the same.
