I wouldn't think a koolaid drinking Euro 'tard like you would need this explained.
Wagons have all of the handling benefits of a sedan combined with the cargo carrying capability of a SUV/CUV. 
I can think of numerous times I had something I couldn't move with one of my sedans that I could have fit in one of these, but I wound up using a van or pickup. Really, when you think about it, it's the 3 box sedan form factor that doesn't make sense. They're neither practical nor are they sporty. The American infatuation with sedans that's now dying probably never should have happened to begin with. |

I miss my 1996 VW Passat VR6 wagon with a 5 speed.
2x4x16 would fit inside. Roofrack would handle about 400 lbs. Built my back deck, hauled all the lumber on it. Could put 6x 6x6x12" on it. Heated seats, 26 mpg car. Sold it at 225k miles. |

Where is your God now?
"The E63 S wagon cages a sinister-sounding 603-hp twin-turbo V-8 mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission and standard 4Matic+ all-wheel drive. This setup helped the superwagon we tested explode from zero to 60 mph in 3 seconds flat and obliterate the quarter-mile in 11.2 seconds at 126 mph." Saw several in GE. The brake discs are ridiculous, they must be 18 inches across. Battlecruiser |

I really, really want a sports wagon as my next vehicle. I currently have a a sports coupe that is due for replacement, and I'd like something fun to drive (which rules out most SUVs). The WRX is too boy racerish, Mercedes, BWM, and Audi are not something I'd want to own outside of warranty. The Volvo V60 looks nice, but they aren't exactly known for sporty handling.
Any suggestions? |
