Too bad it's auto. And I don't remember the Black Diamond Tricoat being that sparkly.

That sled has been completely modified (crate engine installed, nitrous, etc.) and a new paint job, I think.

I think I'd have the E36
On looks, it wins over the E60, but loses by a long shot in the noise dept.

I was like “damn that’s clean”.

I'm 50/50 on it. Cool for being an Evo wagon, but the rear is just meh.

I love the rear. But then, I like the rear of the Volvo V50, too.

The Volvo pulls it off better than the Evo.
In this case, I'd rather the WRX wagon over the Evo. But in sedan form, Evo all day [unless 22B, then always 22B].

The newer (VM, VN) WRX wagons are nice, shapewise, but the lines on the older (GF, GG) gens are a little too rounded-off for me.

Those straight lines on that Evo wagon still catch my eye, even more than the V50. Guess we just have different tastes and can agree to disagree.
