Kinda wonder why the jack isn't stowed, either. Does the car get flat tires often enough that it's just easier to keep it out and handy? I agree. It takes 2 seconds to get the junk off the floor and off the seats before taking photos, and doing so makes for a much better impression.
Nice looking wagon despite certain details. Got to see one of these the other day. Couldn't get a pic since I was on the bus. Made me smile too. It was in pristine condition!
