The wagon appreciation thread

Just got some new shoes on the E400 and washed it.

Can you tell me about your experience with the Merc.  Model, performance, reliability, service costs?  Considering Benz's as (one of many possible) future replacement for the V60 wagon?

Just picked this up.  '16 328 wagon.  Love it so far.  Happy to join the family.  Can't wait to start making it mine.

535xi with down pipes, charge pipe, tune able to run e85 mix. Pretty fun and quick wagon. Way faster than my M5

It has been a typical BMW as far as needing $$$ repairs. 

New M3 Touring at the Nurburgring..  Even the Bucky Beaver grille looks good..

'53 DeSoto with a Hemi at the start of Hemmings "Great Race" 2022.

It will only look good in all black.  No chrome outline, no bright colors for the car.  Just make it disappear.  

My first long roof Volvo....RIP, I abused it mightily from 1976 to 1991. Pulled race trailer and time trialed it too at Bridgehampton and Lime Rock.

A friend had a near death experience recently, he's getting rid of the fleet now.  Giving stuff away.  The 2002 is gone, Triumph GT6+, Kawi Drifter, a barn in Vermont full and a green & cream Duett that he thinks I would bastardize.  No way!

Agreed. But if an M3 Touring was actually sold in the US I'd be tempted. Although I'm sure it would be automatic-only, so I'd have an excuse not to buy one. Doug DeMuro recently posted a video about cars the US isn't getting and the M3 Touring was the first car mentioned, along with a few other wagons.

This is a cropped image from a photo I saw in the newspaper this morning.  I was curious why this person has a tattoo of what looks kind of like a Ford Focus wagon.

In reply to stuart in mn :

Looks like a MkII Escort?

Maybe he lost his virginity in the back of one?

Given the age of most people with lots of silly tattoos, he/she/they's just as likely to have been conceived in the back of one ..

Looks like a K-car wagon with a broken CV shaft.

Maybe he wishes he had a million dollars.  A nice Reliant automobile.

Also would like to know as I'm shopping for a replacement for our Audi Avant. 

I did not get a picture, but I saw a Jaguar the other day with a JagWag plate. I didn't know Jag made wagons... but apparently they make good-looking ones. Got a photo online- same one, down to the color:

Never seen one in the wild, but had seen pictures. Liked'em, too. 

Speaking of Jag wagons, I saw this yesterday:

Very rare beast.  More 918 hypercars sold in the US than Jag sold wagons.
