Whenever I think of station wagons, I think of the Family Truckster from the first Vacation movie.
The only station wagon type vehicle I would buy would be a Subaru Outback. Small enough to drive around town, but the space and capability to get out and go camping.
I know they prefer SUVs due to ride height and what not, but why are wagons considered ugly? Wagons offer the utility of an SUV, and trades off ride height for mpg.
There are an above average number of Dodge Magnums in my city, including the one my neighbors have, and I consider that the best looking car Dodge has besides the Challenger.
The Magnum is bad ass. You see a black Magnum with tinted windows, and something in your gut tells you not to mess with whoever is driving it.
I went to the Cadillac Performance Driving School and specifically stood in line to drive the CTS-V Wagon with a 6 spd.....cool car but that would be a tough day to write a 70K check!
If I ever buy a CTS-V the vanity license plate surely will be: "UGLY FAST"
Why do people make such all encompassing statements without any real basis in fact?
Anyway, I am quite American and like me a station wagon. I tried to talk the ex into a Vista Cruiser and was shot down in flames, I shoulda known right then but such is life.
My DD is a Volvo V50, the T5 engine and AWD make for a surefooted and rapid transit on snow and ice and the seats are pure Volvo excellence. However my ass is apparently not American enough to overflow the cushion . Lately though I confess to naughty thoughts concerning XC70's.....
I love wagons. This was my '04 Mazda6. Rare 5 speed manual with V-6. Great handling car once I installed adjustable Koni's. I sold it a couple of years ago because I needed AWD. Wished I would've kept it Too bad Mazda does not import the new 6 wagon, although I don't think it looks nearly as good looking as mine was.
I really really tried to talk my wife into a 6 wagon but she just wouldn't have it. Ended up with a 6 sedan instead; what really chaps my ass is that less than a week after we bought it, a 6 hatch with the specs we were after (V6, manual transmission) came up for sale in our area. The V6/5spd combo is hard enough to find, as it a hatch version -- which incidentally looks close enough to the sedan that you can't really tell the difference on first glance and thus passed the wife test and would have been a perfect compromise between the wagon and sedan. To find the combination in one package is very tricky. And we were just a few days too impatient.
I'm sure they made more than one for the movie. That car went through hell and still got them to Wally World. If you look closely at the rear quarter panel on the nearest one you can see the ****** Lips tag from the scene in St Louis.
