Wow. I really appreciate the love and effort ... and craftsmanship ....

But, honestly, a bit too much for my (boring) taste! (For me, a Volvo should be a sleeper.)

Those are all in Sweden. So your national car can't be a sleeper, by definition. Outside of Scandinavia, sure.

Ahhh, how interesting. Wow. I would have never guessed that those were done by Swedish tuners.

IMO, having a full window between the C/D pillar = wagon

MB Estate, definitely a wagon


Audi Sportback, borderline


Golf GTI, no D-pillar at all = hatchback

Agree on the wagon definition. I think the A3 pulls it off more like a wagon because it is very squared off. Not rounded like other hatches.

I'm stunned I tell you, stunned, that C&D gave the RS6 Avant a 10 out of 10 score. Stunned.

So...All wagons are hatches but not all hatches are wagons.



All shooting brakes are wagons but not all wagons are shooting brakes...?

Cuz...BMW is doing a social experiment.

Seriously, they want to see if they do that if the car will still sell well (yes).

If I could do "double-likes" I would for that pic of the dark red AMG wagon above.

I stared at it in a blissful state of adoration for a couple minutes straight, just to take my mind off the fact that the world's on fire right now.
