The increased cargo space and a altered rear seat that is actually usable would be a huge draw to those that want a more rounded use vehicle.
It is not that long ago that the minivan then SUV and crossovers pushed the traditional family sedan or station wagon aside as market leaders and that was all done based sold on practicality and hauling abilities.
Now that said I doubt that the North Americian buyers would flock to this but it could corner yet another niche market.

But I mean... If I wanted more convenience for back-seat passengers and more trunk space, I would get something designed with that in mind in the first place. And I would probably just get something with 4 doors too, like a WRX. Making a wagon out of a compact sports coupe with only a few inches of height added to the trunk area is just silly to me.
