Toyota Corolla Fielder
How well would a Corolla wagon sell in North America? I bet it would do well in certain states. It would probably take away some sales from the Impreza.
I saw something on a Fielder Cross, it looks like a Venza on steroids.

Brings back some memories. My late mother bought a light blue Corolla DX wagon in 1996 (they only sold it in the DX trim)......I, of course, helped her through the deal (and did the oil-changes myself on it for her, as the filter was very easy to reach). It was the last car she owned before she passed away four years later. As her estate-executor, I sold it off after she passed.
Not many....assuming that the American version, like the previous one, lacks AWD. Toyota once marketed the AWD Corolla All-Trac here in the U.S., but that was discontinued even before my late mother bought hers. This is just my own opinion (not necessarily fact), but I think part of the reason the Corolla All-Trac never returned to the American market was the success of the RAV4 and, to a lesser extent, the Corolla-derived AWD Toyota Matrix.

All we have to do is look at how the Corolla wagon sold when it was sold here. Which is not well enough to keep selling them here.

This vehicle would not do well in North America.

The RAV-4, which is largely done on a raised Corolla platform, has that part of the market pretty-well-covered, though I noted, in my last post, that, to my taste at least, the Corolla has better road manners.

I considered purchasing a Corolla wagon some 20+ years ago but never did. I would consider a Camry All-Trac wagon if Toyota offered it.

No, the Allroad is a very niche vehicle. But then again, the Outback and Allroad are marketed toward off-roading. Infiniti has taken their Q30 wagon and is marketing it in the States as the QX30, slight raised, as a CUV. Who knows how well it will sell, but it has a better chance than the Q30.

I don't really know where that Corolla wagon would fit into Toyota's lineup. We already have the Toyota Corolla Im wagon at your dealer right now for about 19k base msrp with a $1500 rebate. Price it too high and you're getting into Rav4 territory, those start around 23-24k. Although I do think that jacked up wagon version, if it had AWD would sell like hotcakes, it would be a good competitor to Subaru's tall wagons, which sell a crapload because they are the only car in that niche.

It would not sell well with the way it's styled in the pictures- SUV body proportions, tall greenhouse, tiny wheels and tires, and a lowered suspension. Hopefully it's just a bad photo.
