The wagon in the OP is not an actual AMG engine, correct? It must just be the appearance package.

I would love to have the diesel version.

Those things are super cool sleepers. Once saw a "Brabus" (SP?) kind of like a Saleen is to Mustang, Brabus is to MB. It was a beast, like 4 second 0-60

Do it! I like those, the Audi and BMW wagons.

and yes (as already asked), is that an actual AMG or an E350 with the "AMG Package" ?

I would too...right up to the point I had to write the check for it. I learned long ago to stay with my means, and the E350 is just fine for me.

That is correct. The one I offered a pic of actually has the V6 and the AMG package, which is just fine by me.

I drive an 08 Ridgeline, mama drove an 11 Acura TSX wagon and I had a 2015 Ford Transit 150XLT window van to knock around in.

Got tired of it so I traded it to a 2015 Toyota Seinna limited awd mini van figuring it would be the knock around. Mama loved it and has hardly driven the TSX since. Suits me as I love TSX for running around town. Hard to beat a Honda.

Not really. Line up next to me at a stop light and I'll prove it.

That's a classy ride! As soon as I saw the cross braces on the garage door, I bet myself you were in Fla.. Sure enough I was right, got to have the huricanne bracing. We lived in St. Pete for 20+ years and mine was almost the same.

You'll beat me when you have yours serviced too. Let's soak the fatcat in the Mercedes Benz is what all mechanics think.

THIS!

I want a 3rd Gen Mazda 6 wagon w/ manual transmission, but they are unavailable in N America.

It's pretty sharp, I approve !

OK, I'm out then.

I've got a 2017 VW Sportwagen turbo with 6-speed stick. It's just slightly smaller than a Outback. Fun to drive and can carry what I need to. Great car, except at 24,000 miles the OE Hankook tires are about used up. I'm getting tires tomorrow. Rumor is that North Carolina asphalt is tough on tires - something about the type of rock they use in the asphalt.

There are many a days I do miss my 2001 Audi A4 Avant. I have always been a sucker for wagons. The E series is nice and would not mind to have one.
But the Audi RS6 is top of my list followed by the Volvo V70R

No, it does not. It’s still a mom mobile.

I don’t if this makes you feel better, but I feel the same way as you do about it. I find it to be a very practical, yet stylish vehicle. It is, unfortunately, out of my price range for a vehicle.

To me, it seems to be in a similar class to a Subaru Forrestor.

I am personally hoping that VW decides to bring back a Passat Wagon in all-wheel drive like the all-track which is based on the Golf.

As an aside, I feel that many of the new vehicles, the Ford F-150 in particular, are just plain to ugly. The German makes seem to be the only ones left that have any pretense of style.

Every time I see a new Ford F-150 I just want to vomit. They are really that bad in my opinion.

Very stylish. I love it.

I really like them.
I have a BMW 328xi Touring (BMW for wagon), it's not a Super Vagon, but I have a M5 for the near super car experience. I wanted E60 M5 touring, but no dice in the US.

I got to drive a SRT dodge magnum. The wagon version of the charger at a SRT driving school. Man that would be fun to have one of those as a grocery getter.
