Probably go with the E55 wagon. It's such a sleeper in itself to the uneducated.

Not really a Benz fan, but I do like the idea of a Q-ship that can smoke most of the Saturday Nite Specials.

Not really sure if we're going to see a lot of RS6 Avant votes after the video in this thread

Even though I own an SUV, no way would I get a Cayenne Turbo...huge land barge. The base V6 model could not even beat my RX at the track.

IS Sportcross Custom Turbo would be for me, love the looks and a turbo would be fanastic. The Sportcross was my second choice for Lexus vehicle after my RX.

Im not calling anyone a liar but I doubt many of us would take an IS300 Sportcross over any of the other 3. I mean honestly, even a modded IS300 sportcross does not carry the same road presence as the others. Get off the Lexus high-horse a little bit and be honest with yourself.

That'd probably be why there's only 1 vote for that out of 17 so far.

I don't like any of those, although I voted for the Audi. If it has to be wagon, then I rather have BMW 530xi sport wagon. If doesn't have to be wagon, then the new M5.

Mercedes E55 Wagon. As a previous poster said, it's the ultimate sleeper. Imagine the look on some kids face in a tin can Civic being killed by a wagon. And I just like Mercedes.

I can't stand SUVs. I would much rather have a wagon... Avant all the way. That avant in the video was being driven way hard. You could tell from the getgo that the driver was itching to pass that porche, slowing down way too much for him in the turns. Shredded tire and glowing brakes. I prefer the previous style of the Audis before the current redesign and the avant was one of my favorites.

I'd get the Cayenne, drove one not too long ago and really liked it.
