This car will never get old. Best looking wagon ever. It would be nice to see/hear how this thing is running.

I'm more partial the the B6/B7 RS4 Avant to be honest.

Ben's car is truly amazing but I'm not a huge tuner fan.

My favorite wagon. I like everything he's done except for the car being too low. B5 RS4 looks the best with stock wheels and height for me. Great amount of work done on that S4 nonetheless.

I always thought B5 RS4 and C5 RS6 Avants are the best looking wagons ever. The fact that they have turbo engines like the original RS2 and their crazy wide fenders

Speaking of lesbomobiles, here's one of my good friend's 99 Forester I shot a few weeks ago.

Ya see...

I never paid attention to any of those. Dunno if it's the photography and/or your friend's style or that my taste has changed since the last time, but that Forester looks good. I remember seeing that gen Forester in STi trim, I wasn't a big fan of it then.... But now,

When he said the Merc was $42,000 more I was like That's a whole 'nother car, and a nice one at that.

Not fond of MBs . . . I'd prefer the V in wagon or sedan form.

by default having a 6MT makes the V win

no really though, I think the E63 looks better, at least in wagon guise. I *strains* think the E63 sedan looks better too, hell even the base E-Class looks good.

You do? I'm the complete opposite. I think the base E-class sedan looks like something I see old people driving in Florida. Well-off old people, but still not my demographic

Only because they know (as awesome as it is) they won't sell well here. We'd rather drive SUVs / Crossovers, unfortunately.
