Kidding aside, yeah, that's a great-looking wagon.

I generally am not a fan of the 4.2 but, if the chains are done ... and it's in a wagon?
Gimme.

Got to say, older S cars are going up in value.
I got laughed at attempting to sell my B5 for $12k 2 years ago ... I see un-finished / somewhat clean versions of my car selling for $15k and nobody blinks a eye.
Also, wagon tax is real.

Get rid of the flares, 2 tone paint job, throw on a little bit bigger wheels and it would have potential.

I'm not a huge fan of current S-Class styling, but this looks good, too.

So, the Hyundaudi Optima is in for a wheel change (to summers) and I got the new A4 allroad as my courtesy today. Love it...put in Dynamic mode for my commute so far today and it's been great.

The allroad is great on the freeway as I was traveling from one end of the city to the other for work today anyways. Nice ride. Though, I was mildy surprised it was a 7-speed transmission given the S5 is 8.

As much as I want to admire this car it is just too small for a proper wagon, ditto the 3. This vehicle needs to be based on the mid-sized platform of either the E, 5 or the 6.

Whoops! Forgot Audi brought back the 6 and you're right, nice looking place to be. Here's my build and it's a bit disappointing that you have to order black metallic paint ($595) to get a car painted in one color instead of contrasting bumper trim ($1000).

There's a few colors you can get with full paint finish. Yours is cheaper than mine though
http://www.audiusa.com/A0FFP96S
The 2021s lost the rear wheel steering option. It was pricey, but the one I drove had it and it felt like it shrunk the car at low speeds. Despite the length, making u-turns didn't take much space at all. What bums me out the most though is that you can't get the Black Optics package with the full paint option.
But overall, it's a surprisingly quick car and it's incredibly comfortable. I keep going back and forth on X3M or this. The X3 is a lot more vehicle for the same money, and BMW has favorable lease/financing offers, but - wagon.

that's cuz you shot your wad on B&O sound, or ~14% of the MSRP before options.

It was almost identical to this (bigger US bumpers & not cool euro hedlights)
There was a torsion bar between the rear wheels someone used to jack the car up so it crabbed right on acceleration and left on decel. It's ignition got hot and the car would die after about an hour, I had to pull over and wait for it to cool off. It was a mess.
