More unicorny unicornness. 2014 Majestic Plum CTS-V wagon, a limited run color only for the last model year of the wagon. Sarlacc would get this V wagon to match his Charger.




Not so sure I like a V wagon in this color. It probably looks better in person. Not to mention these low-res pics suck.

And I would rock the fuck out of that majestic plum on a Vagon....I know the new CTS sedan is offered in that color.

The problem with the plum Vagon in that photo...the black wheels...they don't fit that car at all because the plum is somewhat muted and matte black wheels just make it blah, needs contrast of polished aluminum or chrome.

OMG that RS6. Yes. Please.

I'm loving that purple CTS-V too. After having a white car for so long, I've come to appreciate anything that doesn't look like a color featured on rental cars

Agreed, and I don't really like the red calipers with the plum body color.

I almost put a bid on an A4 Avant on Ebay today but it's not exactly what I want. Didn't hit reserve. 2006 with 59k miles but it's an automatic.

That white BMW looks like it has larger diameter wheels in the back than the front.

Just saw this beast in a parking lot

AMGs (sedans) are dime a dozen in Vancouver but AMG wagons are rather rare

Replacing the BMW. Cutting my losses. ST would be a $6-7k loss and I can eat that for a rattling headliner

No manual, no sale. A regular automatic, really?

Good idea, though! Looks good and AWD.

I hate it when I see an awesome car with uneven tint. The tint on the black RS6 ruins it for me.

Don't mind me, that's just the OCD in me speaking.

I think legally it is either what you see up front all around or nothing at all.

Wherever that was taken, of course.

My rear passenger side window is still tintless.

Someone tried to break into my car like 3 years ago. Never bothered to get it re-tinted.

Great, now I'm going to have nightmares about your car not being lowered and one window not tinted. FU OCD!
