E-Class wagon is my favourite car, too.
If you want to stick with a car Table 5, check out Passats. They're huge inside. The looks are very subdued (which I like, but I get it when people call them boring - that was my first reaction to the redesign a couple years ago, too). But for a family hauler, they're wicked. Huge trunk, too. I've put 7,000 kms on mine in the two months since I bought it. The 1.8 Turbo gets 49 mpg on the highway (I haven't cracked 42, but I drive it a little more enthusiastically than a lot of people would). I'm 6'4" and somebody also 6'4" can sit comfortable behind me. It has to have the most legroom (front and rear) of any sedan on the market and they're wicked cheap. Mine was only $27K brand new.
Unfortunately, no wagon available anymore, though. Loved my 91 Passat wagon, but the market prefers crossovers and SUVs, I guess.
