@mrmako LOL...funny you say that. I actually use the V70R to determine if a person is a car person...if they know, I usually say, oh buddy,
you definitely know your cars because most casual enthusiasts don't. Same people that DO usually tell me they have never seen one in person.

When I worked in Germany (1996-2004), my first boss had an 850R, it was a forest green color. And he used to talk about it being "modified", but all he did was get rid of the speed limiter. HE said 150 mph blasts on the Autobahn were a thing. The love affairs with wagons was reignited. I then owned over there an Audi 5000S 5 speed. Could reach 100km on a great day, downhill.
Not sure I get the quilted hood protector. I do like the yellow, I’d just rather see more of that.
id also prefer more rubber on those rims, but over all very sharp, the Honda front looks a lot better than the Acura nose. It matches fits very well with the bumper and lower lip.
did they have TSX wagons with the manual in the USA? I know the v6 was sedan + auto only…
^ No, auto only in the US. If they offered a manual TSX wagon it would be worth SO MUCH MONEY.
@rockstar143 your wagon is t1ts, pls don't sell this one. Excited to see pics with the new interior!
There was a manual at the meat on Sunday...but it was converted, turbo too.
I put BBK on my cousin's TSX wagon that he bought from @civicdrivr Looks super cool but he definitely doesn't accelerate
fast enough to have needed it.
Thanks Sam...I have no real desire to get rid of my V70R...it's a hoot! Just put new tires on the white wheels. I considered selling them
and doing bronze but the white looks SO good. I did order ceramic pads though instead.
Poll at bottom of article:
I guess .7 cu. feet of space behind the seats greater difference in the discontinued model wasn't enough to justify its further production; seats down difference is 47.3 and 49 cu. feet

I guess the rear glass has a lot of rake, similar to Macan. Anyways, still a shame if I was to get a panamera Sport Turismo would be the only way for me. So in a way this makes car shopping easier
I like the design of this car and it's likeness in utility to the 530xiT I had and loved. It however in person, is quite huge and a little overwhelming. If I was going to buy one, it'd be the Sport Turismo 4S E hybrid. The way I'd do it:

the plug in hybrid would be pretty nice for errands and sitting in carline / kids pickup, but when I was looking around, I was “Browsing” the GTS since it had the 4.0V8, just less power than the turbo trims.
my main complaint about the design is the needlessly long nose, it seemed like navigating tight parking lots or pulling in the garage with the clutter I have would be a chore.
^^^ might want to give up that lightweight noise insulating glass, I hear it's fra-jeeeely.
Mmm the Burmeister sound system didn’t save… LOL at the glass, but it should be heavier and thicker for more noise and UV insulation. Its not the lightweight stuff from the 911.
yeah you have had horrible luck with that. Is it new for the 992 generation? My 991.2 gt3 seems to have pretty normal glass on the doors, but the 3 rear ones appear to be different then what my dad has on his 991.1 Carrera S.
Coworker wants to get a new car & get old of her old 4cyl Altima.
She wants a GR86, tried to point her at the Giulia.
But, she also wants chanpagne on a keystone budget

Well, if her budget is low, then maybe a GR86/BRZ?
I thought about putting this in the Bring a Trailer thread, however no one is going to Japan to get this but here she is:
1993 BMW 525i with (bear with me) iDingPower modifications. Nothing horrible, about 65K miles (100K km) on the clock. Looks very clean, but no price (go figure). Enjoy.
Lol iDingPower, now I want it even more!
Unfortunately, being right hand drive, I would turn that transmission into metal dust, or constantly money shift. I have absolutely zero coordination in my left hand.
Those seats look mint! Japanese folks don’t seem to have abrasive asses like folks in North America.
Something seems off... I think it may be the size of those headlights.

Honestly, I’m still really bummed out about the Alpina B5 G3X fazed out before either my van or TL gave out so I could justify, or at least entertain the idea.
As I mentioned earlier, I had a diesel loaner in Europe this past summer and I really liked it, I thought it was a really pretty car. The G6X generation doesn’t really do it for me.
At this point, it’s probably old man syndrome, current models disappoint, prior models are the ones that got away.

When I was in Germany this past fall, I had an A6 Avant Diesel...... It had grunt, no doubt. And the luxury was excellent. But the Infotainment had a glitch where you turned the car on and the map was well off of actual location. Happened a few times. Weird.
