Why 6.6: Choosing the wagon over the SUV is itself an enthusiast statement. Owners use all five seats and most of the 612 hp; depreciation curve says workhorse, not trophy.

The long version

New, this was a six-figure statement purchase; five years later it is a Bargain Window car that a used buyer picks up for family-hauler money and still gets all 612 horsepower attached. That collapse in value, nearly 40 percent off sticker by 2022, is exactly what happens to a niche body style nobody is speculating on, which paradoxically makes the second owner the more honest enthusiast: they bought it purely because they wanted the wagon. Depreciation Hero and Daily Driven both point at the same used-market reality, a car that hauls kids, groceries and a genuinely quick engine in equal measure, with no collector pretensions attached.
