I find myself designing those BMW wagons on their website quite often

I hope they decide to introduce a 335 wagon too

I used to say, nope, just Audi alroad in Boston, but!!!
This pulled my attention pretty well.

This is number one for me from now on
Only 328, no 335
2.0 twin turbo 268hp
MPG 22/33

and that M-Sport looks amazing
+ reminds me of Alfa 156 Sportwagon

I think it's a little too lumpy. But it's great there's options for wagon lovers.

Wife and I were out and about yesterday and she saw an Audi A4 Avant:

Wife: "I like that, maybe we can look into those when it's time to get a new car."
Me: "They don't make those anymore , but there is the Allroad"
Wife: "How much?"
Me: "About $40K"
Wife: "hmm...too much"







NOTE:
I've had my eye on a VW Sportwagen TDI for some time now. Will wait for the next gen to make its way to the US.

Subaru Outback and Acura TSX Sportwagon are tied in a close second.

The only response I get from my wife in RE wagons is
If the TSX wagon were only available with a 6MT. Same with the not-coming-to-the-US new Mazda 6 wagon.

These high powered wagons are so awesome. Until I can have that, I'll contribute my own wagon for some Acura love.

I've been looking at a TSX SW to possibly replace the TL in a few years. I just wish it was offered with the V6

This probably isn't the place for it, but if anyone knows of any IS300 SportCross' for sale, please let me know. I am starting the search and would like to purchase within the next two months. Im looking for either silver, blue, grey, white, or green. Id prefer black interior too.

When I was looking at them they were rare enough all I could do is look at Auto Trader.

A little overpriced, IMO, but here's the only one in TX (black on tan) on CL: Link
And because it's a photo thread, photo from ad.


Another in TX, green/tan & high mileage though. Link

I was going to post a Silver one on Volk GT-V wheels by my job. Looked them up and only 4000 were produced. Pretty rare, GL with the search.

That B7 is so freaking rare. I would love a 6MT B7 S4 Avant.

Autotrader has 3. Just three B7 Avants. 2008 with 37k miles is $35k.

Just really hard to find and people know what they are worth.

The B7 S4 Avant is so bad ass. Was cruising to the mountains this past weekend with my buddy in his Rex and my other buddy in his Mini and a B7 RS4 decided to tag a long and play. Damn that RS is hot. The entire B7 line is just sick! I would drive an avant any day of the week!

Ehhhhh. Too many stickers and I'm not a fan of the matte finish. The wheels and ride height are perfect though.

That would be a hell of a daily driver. Too bad stupid Americans are stuck with the SUV flu.....and the RS6 will never see our shores.
