I've got my daily driver 2000 BMW 540i touring. It checks all the boxes for what I want in a daily driver— it's RWD, decently quick thanks to its 4.4L V8, has tons of cargo space, is bright red, and is comfortable enough to take on lengthy road trips. Eventually it'll get a 6-speed manual and more power.
For you wagon-lovers. Possibly the ultimate wagon project car?

Would a GMT400 Suburban with these specs be a fun "wagon"? I'm considering fixing up my worn out truck with a 383 stroker/4-speed but realizing I could probably never sell it like that if I get tired of it.
a good buddy of mine just finished his turbo 5.3 Ford LTD wagon. Makes 640 hp to the wheels.

I like this. Haven't seen too many Crown Vics getting swapped, its usually the smaller Fairmonts.
Obligatory wagon hotlink.
I mentioned this in the Unicorn thread some ago and then again in the Fergus thread in May, but I'll bring it up a third time: I've been watching Tom Cotter's barn find hunter series of videos on Youtube, and he bought a 1967 Ford Country Squire that was factory equipped with a 428, four speed, console and bucket seats. And wood grain siding. :) A one of one car, it had to be signed off by Lee Iacocca himself to be released for production.

This needs bumped up again.
2018 is the year of the WAGON !
AWESOME
Love the finned wagon!
I'm still mad at the pine tree that took out my Saab 9-5 project, but it has me thinking that I need to replace it with something better suited for cargo/dog hauling. Then, I remembered they made these:
Me likey!!!
My son always had VWs but at a Christmas party the hostess talked about a car she kept for the Nanny (nice neighborhood) but the Nanny declined so it's been sitting. Ian asked what it was and next thing you know he's got a very nice '08 wagon. He fills it with cases of wine and motors around Manhattan plying his wares. Wished it was a stick but nfg in the City.
In reply to 914Driver :
That's gorgeous.
I'm a huge fan of how the late 9-3 aero wagons look, but they are almost exactly the same size inside as the SAABaru Impreza wagon. I haul bikes and don't like taking the wheels off, so I'm a 9-5 wagon guy all day. Two in the driveway and likely one more coming...
Wish I could afford one of these:
I knew I liked GRM for a reason... you all have the same Wagon sickness I do!
I love this thread!!!

More shooting break than wagon, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers 
and those wheels look perfect on there.

Here's my DD. Not fast but comfy in every way. Plus the 850 interior RULES.
Here's my daily. She's got plenty of torque with the LT1, but she's a bit porky so I've been watching for a cheap used centrifugal blower to liven things up a little without blowing the sleeper vibe
