Also if tourings do make it over there then it cuts more into the SUV market which is clearly a bigger stake for Usa since they make them there.
There is obviously an interest in wagons (tourings) from some US members on the forum.

Other members have clearly stated in other topics, that wagons are not in fashion in the US. If the SUV is the vehicle of choice, and wagons are a very small market, I guess BMW NA won't opt to import and support wagon sales.
