I need to see it in person. From the photos it looks oddly long, but the interior is beautiful and 300 hp is a winner.Quote:

Nice video find. Looks even better than in the still photos.
Check out this looney monster. A V-8 Skyline wagon.

The slanted hatch on so many new wagons and SUVs like the V90 blows; removes a ton of utility.
Yikes, sign me up.Quote:

I just wish we could get it with a MT, but our XC70 has an auto so at least the sizable bump in horsepower will be nice either way. Hopefully the V90 won't be as boring as our XC70. Car's winter handling is absolutely superb though, so we've been willing to forgive its slowness. Top notch interior though, and it looks like the V90 kicks up a notch or three. Nice!!!Quote:

How has that thing not exploded by now?
You can tell it's going to be an awesome day when you can't find your wagon.

Big blue wagon...
That is stretching "wagon" in every conceivable way.
Ok, another "which car post"
Sister-in-law is going through a divorce and we're helping her find a car to buy. She wants a wagon (hates suv's), AWD, and won't do Subaru since their old outback left them stranded on the side of the highway outside the Eisenhower Tunnel when it exploded. She's got a budget too.
Narrowed it down to two cars she likes. A 2009 BMW 328xi wagon with 80k miles for around 14k or a 2011 Volvo XC70 T6 with around 50k miles for 24k.
I raved about my wife's T6 and am hoping she leans towards that one. She's not sure if the increase in cost is worth the big jump in price.
Thoughts?
Shame she can't wait for the VW Alltrak.
Otherwise, if she can ditch the AWD the Acura TSX wagon is great.
Otherwise, you've covered all the bases.
Red Mini convertible
I thought of the Acura really late in the search. Not bad just not many available and she's already got these two in mind.Quote:

They usually come with their own box.
You should get her to start an alias divorce thread?Quote:

Is that what qualifies as a cougar car these days? Round here, (and now that I think about it where she is) the cougar car is a base model Boxster or Audi TT convertible.Quote:

Love the 9-5 wagons. Was my wife's favorite car in manual.
Those old Cougar and Buick wagons were massive beasts. The Olds was a pretty unique one:
