Where were they racing to with those wagons? The grocery store???


Ok ok ill stop hating

I like the audi and the Benz wagon. I think the aggressive look of the M5 doesnt work well in a wagon form. Those numbers are all very impressive though.

These wagons look *****in, they are nothing compared to the rectangular boats on wheels that everyone remembers from the 80's, probably why they are now sports wagons and not station wagons, it's mind boggling why someone did not pull their heads out of their asses and go with this idea over taking a pickup truck, welding the cap to the bed rails and marketing it as the SUV, except for the offroad part which less then 5% have claim to do and the boat towing, they make perfect sense, and function,
