Collins\* Wagon fans, pour one out for another Porsche wagon. On Thursday, the [2027 Porsche Taycan was revealed]() with fake gear shifts from a fake transmission, amongst other changes. Notably absent and overlooked? The Taycan wagons, both the Sport Turismo and Cross Turismo, are gone. Dead. A Porsche spokesperson confirmed to *The Drive* it's not our imagination and the wagons are indeed gone. A moment of silence, please. Also, we can only blame the public, not Porsche. Had more people bought these clearly they would exist still today. This isn't the first time we've seen this happen. The [Panamera Sport Turismo died]() in 2023 because people didn't buy those either. The irony is the BMW M5 wagon and Audi RS6 Avant have both far exceeded those respective automaker's sales expectations in the U.S. market. What is even happening here? *The Drive* reached out to Porsche and asked why specifically the wagon models, which are the best models, of the Taycan are dead. We'll update this story when we get an answer. The [Taycan Cross Turismo was confirmed back in 2021](). At the time Porsche noted it had a Gravel Roads driving mode. Last year, Executive Editor Andrew Collins reviewed the Cross Turismo and noted it might just [be the best all-around EV](). That man is rarely wrong. Though, his dog, Bramble, [didn't like Porsche's electric wagon](). Clearly Bramble has bad taste. Editor-In-Chief Kyle Cheromcha, who definitely is almost never wrong, reviewed the Taycan GTS Sport Turismo after it launched in 2022 and [called it, at the time, the best electric Porsche](). Cheromcha noted, "Haters who snub EVs for not having any soul need to get behind the wheel of a Taycan GTS." Clearly, the haters did not in fact get behind the wheel of the Taycan GTS wagon. *Got a tip about news?
