001 002 Reveal of the Month ROAD MASTER DON’T CALL THE TOURX A CROSSOVER. BUT YOU MIGHT CALL IT A SUBARUICK. by David Beard THE STATION WAGON has long faced extinction, but a counterpoint to the rise of the crossover and the decline of the sedan can be found in the current wobbly resuscitation of the wagon. Subaru has done its part to preserve an otherwise unfashionable style, recasting the wagon as an outdoorsy hiking shoe that isn’t an SUV. It sold nearly 183,000 Outbacks in 2016. The Audi A4 Allroad and Volkswagen Golf Alltrack, among others, now mimic that template. Latest to the party is Buick, which is getting in on the wagon-conservation effort with its new Regal TourX, the first wagon to wear the tri-shield badge in the 22 years since the Buick Roadmaster Estate wagon expired. 001 Both the TourX and its Sportback sibling boast active hoods for pedestrian safety. 002 For added toughness, the TourX’s blastic cladding incorporates little mud-flap–like flares at the trailing edges of the rear wheel wells. EXTERIOR It could be said that the Germany-built Buick Regal TourX is spun from Europe’s Opel Insignia Country Tourer (Opel having recently been sold by GM to France’s PSA Group, maker of Peugeot and Citroën), but let’s be honest; the TourX is the Country Tourer. The only differences are the badges on the grille and liftgate and on the center wheel caps. The Subaru Outback–like proportions are made beautiful by Mazda-esque styling. Hockeystick-shaped LED running lights accent the slim headlights—which can be upgraded to LEDs themselves—visually widening the stance. The roof rails sit atop a sleek roofline, highlighted by exceedingly long chrome arches that seem to stretch from the TourX’s A-pillars to the A-pillars of the car following it. To give the Regal wagon a fighting chance against Encores and Enclaves in showrooms, molded black plastic trim houses dual chrome exhaust exits in the rear and encompasses the lower fascia, wheel arches, and rocker panels. This “blastic,” starkly at odds with the body’s fluid lines, provides the desired rugged look and protects the paint for the few who may actually take the TourX off the beaten path. The 18-inch wheels wrapped in Continental rubber are the only wheeland-tire package available. photography by JOHN ROE JUL/2017 . CAR AND DRIVER . 019
