Nice HRE Wheels on that VW. IWHI..... Then sell it for the Audi RS6 above (along with the left nut that it would cost).

So, okay...I think we know the consensus is that the Audi Avant is the king wagon in here...

But, what do you folks think of this Subaru?

I know Avants are often the topic at hand but I can't resist:

I'd drive it. I came close to ordering an STi hatchback back in 2012.

Absolutely. If Ford ever brings the RS to the states, I will pre-order one and sell the ST. However, I wouldn't want FWD though.

I'll keep dreaming.

RS6 Avant - always.

Jesus.

And I like that Subie for sure. Not really feeling the Focus's rear end. That car looks sweet in the front though.

Love it.

In fact, I do regret not buying a Subie when we bought our Avant. Don't get me wrong, I love my Avant, but there is something to be said about the simplicity of the Subie and the availability of so many aftermarket parts.

5 doors = Wagon.
3 doors = Hatchback.

My car is considered as a hatchback. It's a 5 door.

GTi and subie 5 doors are also usually called as a hatchback, not wagon.

When I replace the 530 xiT in a year or so, it will be with an Audi A7 tdi-no wagon but sure wish it was.

Never thought of the D pillar as being the reason. but it makes perfect sense.

Yup, gotta keep up.

Too busy driving it, though. I've already got 15.5k miles in only 11 months of ownership.

With that number of miles, there go my Barrett-Johnson or Mecum dreams! At least I'm enjoying the wagon as intended....and I DO enjoy it.

I communicated with the owner of the second Vagon today. The box is an Inno Shadowbox 16. I swear, that is a great-looking, sleek box!

It's not an RS500, but there is a Focus RS that I see occasionally around my neighborhood, Mexican plates.

I'll just have one of these over an Audi Avant.
