The 2018 Buick Regal Sports Wagon (or Tour-X) will be at LEAST very similar to this...




Here's the [current] competition:

I think there's room in this segment for a new, dominant player. But if they're going to do it half-assed or charge more than the Audi Allroad, then don't bother.
What makes you think Buick would price it over the Audi Allroad? The Allroad has a HUGE following and a great reputation. It would be crazy for a new Buick to come along and be priced higher. There are quite a few nice wagons on that page, though. Thanks for posting it. Wagons aren't "for me" but I don't have any issue with them. Some of them look pretty nice. I think Buick needs to offer something that looks sporty but classy - has enough power that enthusiasts are happy to drive it - handles well but ultimately has a comfortable ride - and include lots of high tech features...
With AWD, based on the Regal's current pricing (thinking it would be comparable to a GS), I'd think the wagon would be in the $40k range. That's steep but at least less than the Audi. It has to be as good as the Audi to draw those buyers, otherwise they'll likely just stick with what they know (brand loyalty) even if it's at a premium. There's also the BMW option which starts around $35k, so if the Regal Wagon comes a front wheel drive it can't be higher than that. Entering a market almost certainly means undercutting the existing pricing.
Wait and buy a CPO, and save the extra $$$$.I like it and would buy one however I won't because it will probably cost $45k+
I test drove the Envision and liked it as well but they are charging so much for it.
