This new V90 XC seems like a gem.
Shit....we never get the fun cars in N.A.

I've given up. I like a manual transmission so much that I'm ordering a 340 x-drive. The Clubman feels like a toy, and we already have a Golf R. I will prolly get the largest roof box made to compensate, or in Romney fashion, store the dogs on top in crates.
I would like to see that Volvo with a V8, 550bhp and 600lb of Torque. Regarding the E63, I think that it is my favorite everyday car, other than the Cayenne Turbo S
I hear ya. I would like a newer car, but I have these two big dogs that I take everywhere with me, so a wagon is best or maybe a large hatchback with some power.Quote:

Damn Porsche Cayenne diesel is being recalled so that is out. The new Jag SUV diesel is under powered, so what to do? Why can't I get a 535xiD wagon in the states or any of the other cool diesel wagons sold in Yurp? So annoying.
Touareg v10 TDIQuote:

Not sure how big a Pilot is inside with the seats down, and on all four wheels, but I can say without a doubt that the wife's XC70 has way more room - especially usable room - than her X5s did .
Or just say whatever to the economy side of it and hook yourself up with the new Durango SRT :) Somewhere just shy of 500hp, it'll smoke all 4 tires and tow a house. Bring out your inner 'murican :eek:Quote:

I also love my Jeep GC as a dog hauler and they have a diesel option.
I parked next to a FF recently. It was comically long. Cool, but not at all what I would spend that kind of money on.
I dig them. For a couple hundred K, you get yourself into a Ferrari that isn't a cali. That's a start right there. Add in AWD and a serviceable backseat and it's pretty close to a white rhino.Quote:

FF took a hit, when they renamed it GTC4 Lusso.

Classic blk/blk, with yellow calipers and shields. Easy to find too.

Wow!!! That is so damn sexy. Just need to win the lotto :frown:
One day I will buy my subbie legacy GT wagon with stick.

I'm starting to think about replacing my Honda Element with an AWD wagon (since nothing close to a small, AWD SUV with a rubber interior exists anymore.) I originally had it down to an Outback, duh, or a Volvo XC70, but a little research into the Volvos now has me drooling over the new V60 Cross Country that should be out later this year (picture is just an approximate rendering, since it hasn't been released yet.)

Volvo AWD is hippie tech. 95/5 front rear bias. I suppose its a comfortable ride and gets the job done but not much fun. Like driving a plow.
Volvo XC series. Very good mountain vehicle. Good clearance. good in snow. Boring ride.
Damn son are those 24s?!?!?Quote:

not 4matic tho
Haha. I think that rendering is of the regular V60. The cross country version gets an extra couple inches of ground clearance. Not quite the 8.something inches an Outback has, but they're pretty capable.Quote:

The 60 series gets Polestar treatment and would be a very fun wagon to own, but if you need awd and clearance then the V60 XC line or 90s series XCs are where you're going to end up and 300+ hp ain't too bad either.
But this is TGR and it's shit if it isn't some imaginary unicorn lifted euro wagon that's rear wheel drive all the time except on snow and only comes in a manual with a box and don't forget the diesel option.
Hawt but insanely overpriced:

Ha, I saw that on Jalopnik last night and thought, damn! Insanely overpriced though for that engine. I wish we got the big gas engines in those over here.Quote:

Is the Panamera versatile enough for wagon duty?
Ask BD about the upcoming Panamera Wagon.Quote:
