Not anymore they don't, SUV's and soft 4x4 vehicles are the weapon of choice for families. Hence (one of) the reason for the Falcon wagon's demise. Even if they spent $200 million developing a new FG wagon, they would probably only sell 600-1000 per month which simply isnt enough numbers to warrant spending that sort of money.

They're better off consolidating their money into their 3 key platforms (sedan, ute, Territory) which coincidentally that is what they are doing.
