Wagons have long been all the rage in Europe, so it's fitting one of the continent's biggest motor shows will see a range of big- booted offerings make their debuts.
Kia and Volvo couldn't wait until the Geneva motor show kicked off next month, having revealed their Optima and V90 wagons respectively.
The latter follows on from the recent reveal of the up-market Volvo S90 sedan and revives a nameplate which has been unused since the late 1990s.
The V90 is closely related to the S90 and XC90 SUV, with Volvo's Scalable Product Architecture underpinning it.
It is roughly the same length (4936mm), width (1890mm) and height (1475mm) as a Holden Commodore Sportwagon.
Like the S90, the V90 will have a range of 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine options, cutting-edge safety technology and be pitched at the luxury end of the large-passenger-car market.
As with the S90, Volvo Australia has confirmed the V90 will make it to Australia, sometime after the S90's arrival.
With the S90 expected to launch locally around   August, an early 2017 arrival date for the V90 would seem about right.
The Optima Sportswagon is inspired by Kia's Sportspace concept, which was uncovered at last year's Geneva show.
Although the production version isn't as aggressive as the concept, much of what is behind the C-pillar has been derived from the Sportspace.
At 4855mm long and 1860mm wide, it is Kia's biggest wagon ever. Its 553 litres of cargo space with the rear seats up puts it ahead of rivals such as the Mazda6, Hyundai i40 and Ford Mondeo wagons but shy of the Volkswagen Passat's segment-leading 603 litres.
The Optima Sportswagon will go on sale in Europe at the end of this year with a choice of a 1.7-litre diesel and a pair of 2.0-litre four-pot petrols - one turbocharged, one naturally aspirated.
It's not clear whether the Optima wagon will make it to Australia. Wagon sales aren't great here but Kia Australia has made it clear it is interested in bringing in a wagon to complement the Optima sedan ever since the unveiling of the Sportspace.
One Geneva-debutant wagon that is confirmed to make it to Australia, however, is the Renault Megane. 
The French company has only offered teaser silhouette images so far but its local arm plans to bring the end product to our showrooms sometime next year. 
Engines are expected to mirror those in the new Megane hatch range, which includes a 1.5-litre diesel and 1.2 and 1.6-litre petrols.
It means it will continue alongside the Holden Cruze, Hyundai i30, Peugeot 308, Proton Exora and Volkswagen Golf in offering a wagon variant in the small-car class.
