The ludicrous CAFE Light Truck classification made SUVs more profitable vs cars and manufacturers here spent decades demonizing wagons because they wanted to sell their SUVs
The GT was for the Chinese buyer who cared about the back seat, wheelbase and soft ride more than anything else so I never understood why they released them here, but with only the GT getting the N55 while 3 series wagons got the poverty engine was always a huge slap in the face (and no new 5 series wagon which would have been the perfect 2nd car)
