The rear seam and no door bothers me more than it should. Also, something about the long front overhang, the car gives me reliant robin vibes. The green one doesn’t seem as bad, but the blue one you posted nanxun is hard to look at

 

The surfboards on the blue VW though!!

 

The blue and green VWs remind me of an old Audi 500S that I owned. Once you loaded the rear, the front of the car could come off the ground a bit during wet weather driving. Very scary to drive.

 

This car has the same engine as the R34 GT-R. Factory option. It's not in great condition, but it's about $35K

Love the M5 but it's odd. That steering wheel is right out of my '90 e30 Cabrio, the Vin decode says business cd.

are these considered wagons?

 

I like the panamera, I saw a wagon in traffic yesterday just couldn’t get s good shot of it.

i would day the forester is a wagon, but I could consider the WRX a hatch, not a wagon.

 

Forester, in between hatchback & SUV. WRX, hatchback

Our former Ford Flex was insurance classed as a wagon. But of a stretch, IMO.

 

im guessing you mean forester is between a wagon and SUV, not hatchback. Definitely too long for a hatchback with that 3rd window.

I looked at a flex back in 2010. The 3.5 turbo engine was too much $$ and I ultimately settled on the Odyssey which is my daily since the wife stole my TL-S and always takes it to work.
Still, one day, I will have a wagon!

 

Tomato/Potato.
Forester is too short for a wagon, too long for a HB, especially whencomparedtotheOutback.

 

I do agree the Outback is longer and the roof is longer, which gives it a more stretched look. That said, I don’t find the forester to be short, the 2nd and 3rd window are about the same size.

also, how do you classify the IS300 wagon? That to me looks more like a hatchback with the tiny rear window and raked rear glass, but I think I put more weight into the cars proportions that overall length.

 

IS, definitely a wagon, even with the more raked hatch.
The 1G Mazda 6 had both. A wagon & a hatchback. But the 6HB looked a lot more like the sedan.

 

I love the Panamera ST but they are still so freaking expensive!

 

LHD JDM example.

Speaking of JDM, how about a Mercedes Pickup truck:

2021 Mercedes X350d Truck

 

Interesting. To my eye, that Merc truck looks like a Honda Ridgeline. Is that exclusively JDM?

 

 

I think it's a JDM/AUS/NZ version. Yeah, it does have a Honda Ridgeline kind of look.

 

Too bad it's a 4AT

Looks great, I hate Hyundai, KIA, etc. There would have to be a shift of ice age like glacial proportions for me to consider one.

 

Yea… I almost got a Genesis back in 2010ish. But the dealership experience left a sour taste that I vowed to never get one.

 

funny, that was my experience with Lexus back in 2001 when I was interested in the IS300 (thus, my username )

 

I'd have little hesitation on a newer Hyundai/Kia/Genesis, much improved over the past.
Briefly shopped the Elantra GT Sport around 2018, for the $ it wasn't bad, but a far cry from the GTI I cross-shopped & the Mercedes C300 I ended up buying [CPO].

 

I like that Genesis wagon, I’m on the fence about the double spoiler at the back, top one is ok, but the one below the rear window looks like tits trying a bit too hard.

As far as dealer experience, the closest bmw dealership to me is a hard fail. Also, the Lexus service department near me is pretty bad. Luckily the Acura dealership has been great to me since 2005 when I bought my 2001 CL-S. I have to admit that the dealership experience does factor into my car shopping decision.

 

I like this better

 

G70 wagon is a winner

 

yeah I agree as well.

 

I've had my G70 for a little over a year now and so far it's been my favorite car I've owned. It's a total sleeper and people are always confused on what it is. I do agree that the dealership experience is so so, but thankfully I've had zero issues with the car. Did my first service and the dealer surprisingly offered to valet the car 2 hours each way, all while dropping off a loaner. As nice as it was, I declined and drove it there instead. Didn't want an unknown tech putting that many miles on it.

Would definitely buy another Genesis just basing it off the car though. Especially if they made something like a performance G90 wagon. I feel like every car in their entire lineup is a homerun. They just need more standalone dealers.

 

Funny, Japan does not have many Hyundai/Kia/Genesis cars here. Just the Ioniq. They really hate each other I guess.

 

Someone's stuffed a 4.7L Maserati/Ferrari-derived V8 into a Bimmer 328 touring. Check out that hood-bulge.

I'd love to see your algorithm after that image search

 

JFC, not what I need in the morning (even though the dude is blessed).

This is better in the morning, my exact car model but in black.

 

Nah, the Mini was the 'closest' I came to a black car [Hot Chocolate Metallic]
Subie looks better in blue than black, IMO.

 

Oh I'm not saying I like the color. That's why mine is blue. I liked the photo.
