The Modern Station Wagon is one of the many drivable Vehicles in Teardown. It's first appearance is on Villa Gordon.
Design[]
The Modern Station Wagon is based on a station wagon. The front of the car starts of with a plastic lip on the bottom of the bumper, with a pair of tiny fog lights above it, sitting inside of what seems to be a vent. Between the fog lights is a very small license plate, with a pair of triangular bumper guards. Atop these bumper guards sat a wide yet narrow grille, filling the large and empty space between the thin light units. The light units house tall headlamps with indicators on the edges, all covered with glass.
The short hood climbs up to the large windshield, with a large angle and grey A-pillars, on which sit plastic mirrors. The car is a station wagon with 5 doors, a low roofline and a smaller interior than it's predecessor. Most of the pillars of the car are completely grey, excluding the thick D-pillar, which has a hint of yellow on it, being transferred over from the roof. Strangely, the car has an extra C-pillar, which is also completely grey. The car has a darker-tone stripe on the sides of the doors, right above plastic side skirts, connecting with tiny fenders housing small wheels, wrapped in medium-profile tires.
Down the back is a large hatch, with a medium-sized window lined by plastic, housing a wide brake light right below the plastic lining. The rear of the car is mostly flat, with a thin license plate in the center of the hatch, between a pair of rear light units. These rear light units are larger than the ones up front, and house lights in this arrangement: A small taillight, which is the outermost lamp of the light unit, coupled with a brake light to the side of it, closer to the hatch. The closest lamp to the hatch is the reversing light, being the same size as the brake light. All of this is covered with red glass, a lot of it extending upward to the D-pillar. Below all of this is a darker-tone strip, presumably a continuation of the side strip, this time sitting a voxel higher and separating the hatch from the rear bumper. Under the rear bumper is a plastic lip, matching with the ones found on the front and side of the vehicle. The Modern Station Wagon has a single exhaust pipe, under the bumper and to the left. The Modern Station Wagon is painted in a yellow color with darker tones, combined with plastic accents.
Performance[]
The Modern Station Wagon is a strange car in both performance and appearance. It shares most of its traits with it's older version such as the lowered speed, the slow acceleration, the diesel engine, the FWD drivetrain and the low durability. However, the modern version does not have the understeer problem of it's older brother, instead allowing for small drifts with use of the handbrake. However, drifts in this car are not effective as it is not powerful enough to spin the tires or hold a drift for long enough to be meaningful without spinning out or losing speed.
The off-road utility of the Station wagon is now gone due to the horribly undersized wheels, the low ground clearance and the terrible approach and departure angle. In fact, the car is so bad at off-roading that going over small curbs sometimes damages the car. Overall, the Modern version is worse than its older counterpart in pretty much every way, however the only field it enhances is maneuvering at low speeds.
Trivia[]
- The Modern Station Wagon has less cargo space than its brother, in fact it has so much less cargo space that it is more akin to a hatchback than a wagon. This is strange however, as the car has the appearance of a station wagon, rather than a hatchback. This makes it just as big as a station wagon, while having as much cargo space as a hatchback and as much offroad potential as the Crownzygot XVC.
