In addition to the Subarus that others have already raved about, if your preference for wagon is due to consideration for fuel economy, the Lexus RX / Toyota Highlander twin might be an option in the mid-teens. Make sure it has the 3.3L or 3.5L engine if you get the Lexus; the first generation 3.0L RX300 was a pig to turn despite its small size, the later ones are bigger, easier on the gas and have smaller turning radius. Less of a concern if you get the Toyota, as the first generation Highlander shared the more modern platform of the 2nd generation RX (well, in terms of chronology, the Gen2 RX was based on Gen1 Highlander). The gas mileages on RX330/350 AWD and Highlander V6 AWD, around 18/24 (I have gotton as high as 27mpg on my wife's '04), are actually better than almost all the non-diesel V6 AWD euro wagons old enough to be in the mid-teens.
