As far as blue and v70r, yes sir...but no, the car in the video is currently parked at my job.

Supposedly P2 platform was a huge improvement over the 850R but I like how boxy it is and obviously everyone knows the livery of that monster track car that makes
you think Vulva wagon beast...
that looks like a pretty cool spec!
I would love to throw some money at it one day, new clutch, refreshed (bigger?) turbo....clean up the suspension bits...
it's a very strange and unique and weird and odd vehicle to own. And I drive it like I'm competing at the WRC most of the time
which must be a spectacle for other's on the road.
It's also a pretty tight interior, if you regularly have passengers.
I've seen a few manual swapped Sportcross, but odds are those are not lightly driven.
*putting on fire suit* The IS300 wagon is one of the few cars I don’t prefer in wagon form. Rear window is too raked and the shape of the last windows make it look like it’s curving its butt up.
^ Is it the camera angle or does it look like that front door and fender are a bit darker? The Legacy GT was always a favorite of mine.
it zipped by pretty fast, I didn't notice a different color on the door... it's probably just the angle OR maybe some weird stuff happening when I added a filter into the picture
I was at the Subaru dealer having the Levorg looked at (misfire on cylinder 3) and saw the new 2025 Forester. Not a wagon anymore, but could be if lowered about 5 inches.

Fast forward to today and pretty much every wagon (with sporty intentions) has a raked hatch. The A6 Allroad/RS6 is especially useless IMO.
Funny enough, here I am on a small island with a short expressway (fastest by "speed limit" so 80 km/h) of about 65km. But when I leave the gym, at a local kindergarten I see parked a new G-wagon (AMG), a GLE AMG, and an AMG GT. And I'm thinking there is no way those vehicles can't have maintenance issues when you can not actually exercise those engines.

it's kinda like around here in Vancouver (or actually probably all over the world), I see a lot of G-Wagons (almost always an AMG), yet... probably 99% of them will never see dirt... it's such a waste because they're actually super capable offroading beasts (except the exhaust placement totally fucks up the breakover angle )
Alright, I just picked up my rental. I initially thought I would have a 5 series touring, but it ended up being an A6 avant. Initial impressions are just ‘ok’. I didn’t find a seating position that’s completely comfortable for my back and both kids complained the rear headrests are too far forward. Also, I’m disappointed the rear glass doesn’t open like it did on the 5 series we had 2 years ago. The ride is pretty good though and I really like the shape and size of the steering wheel. Here are a few pics of the outside.
