The styling was meh, but still a drivers car. And the wagon can be done up with some wheels and a few aero bits.

We should make an effort to end the SUV in America.
How long before they finally welcome all the cool European Wagons to America!?!

Albeit, living in the arctic, I would say there is a place for SUVs but yes...less of them otherwise in places where it's just not needed.

It sucks, but I'm not very surprised. It wasn't very good to drive - the ride sucked, it wasn't very inspiring, and it sounded like crap. Really the only redeeming factor was the fact that it was a fantastic looking car.

Oh and my laptop keyboard lost the "e" hence my weird(er than normal) posts or my frantic search for something poignant lacking the letter "e".

Apparently the Mk8 Golf R keeps the same 6MT as the old one (which is also the same 6MT as the GTI). If that's the case then I no longer care that the Golf R Wagon isn't available here.

The 7AT is also available.

And the MK7 6MT isn't bad. The clutch is.

While the angular front end on the W212 wasn't my favorite, probably in the bottom along with the bugeye W210 (sorry @rockstar143 ). I'd gladly have a S/C V8 E55 wagon
