Why I would kill for the F-Type coupe and cause grievous harm to another for the convertible and yet the shooting brake does nothing for me... it's just beyond comprehension.

Marry/fuck/kill? Marry F-Type coupe, fuck convertible, kill shooting brake. But for the CTS-V in the same respective order, it would be marry sedan, fuck wagon, kill coupe

I am a strange man, as apparently I'm the only one...

Ah, I don't mind it (except for the specks of color)...I think it looks good.

More of the RS4 Avant in this gallery

http://www.autoblog.com/photos/2014-...eva-2014/full/

Looks perfect without the Nogaro blue interior panels. It works for the exterior, but too gaudy for the inside.

So, I know this thread gets dominated by Audi-love and similar...but, any of you like the Dodge Magnum?




I think this looks one looks amazing.

I've always liked the Magnum. I just wish most of them weren't ruined with 24s and scissor doors.

I adore the Magnum. The Magnum is one of the reasons I have a CTS-V wagon in that the SRT Magnum was the first American hi-po wagon in some years. That one is nicely done, BTW. I thought about buying one some years ago but after owning two Chrysler products in the late 90's, the quality was so poor that I won't be back to them, no matter how compelling the product.

If that existed in the States, I'd probably trade in the Focus ST for it.
