810 wagon
R30 wagon
whatever that orange wagon was

Hakosuka wagon is sacrilege. Looks like a Skyline front clip haphazardly attached to some unholy thing. Utter blasphemy.

R35 wagon... just when I thought it could not get any uglier

(I have way too many Hakosuka, Kenmeri, and 240z t-shirts. thanks Blipshift)

^ This. That front clip is not for that wagon. Not from the 70's. Maybe an older Stagea with the old front end. Kind of odd looking.

A proper street wagon, but not an RB25 or RB26 DETT motor.

I noticed the new Audi S/RS models have wheels that are way too big. It would be philosophically wrong for a tuner/modder to go smaller, so

^I did take a look at Volvo's website, and for Colorado it starts at $67K, $10K shy of a A6 Allroad, but well shy of an RS6. Love the idea/concept of a very usable daily sporting wagon. Just can't justify (right now) that much for a car.

Saw this ad this morning and thought ... how bad ass is this?

N54, AWD, 6 speed, and a wagon ...

Can it really get any better?

I had one, absolutely loved it and it did have a 6 speed tranny, just not a manual. I don't think that you could have ever ordered it with a stick. LOVED that car.

I was looking at a few of those manual 535s a few years ago before I got the Sportcross. They were a bit out of my price range at the time. Most manuals I found were all wheel drive though.

I've (test) driven a number of XE10's, but never a Sportcross, with which I've always been intrigued. How long did you have yours for?

My aunt had a 5MT 1G IS300, fun little sedan. Shame the wagon never got an MT option.

Just under 2 years. I got a cheap, 197k mile example since I was planning on LS swapping it. About a year into ownership I noticed some rust that I didn't want to deal with, and started looking for a way out of it. It was a great car though - very comfy, great highway cruiser, quiet (for it's age), plenty of space, and rare. Gas mileage was horrendous though - about 21mpg highway I really wanted to drop an aluminum 5.3l in it with a T56.

Shocking how poor the MPG is on it, for being a smaller car.
The 5MTs weren't any better.

Smiles / gallon > Miles / gallon
