Not my favorite, but one of the better W124 Estate photos I could find in a decent size.
I much prefer the MMC W124 over the pre-MMC.

Too bad there was never a W124 E500 Estate

That's nice looking. I like those, it's on the list of cars I will be looking at as a DD next year for myself as my wife will be getting the FX35 I have now.

Yeah, it's got 18's which is fine because it has a higher sidewall making for a more comfortable ride. Also, if I want to rip around I hop in my 350 or 650 so the 530 is definitely not my low altitude flyer.

I guess the picture was deceiving. they definitely dont look like they are 18s in the picture.

Yeah they look like 16s almost. Must just be the fact the wheel arches are so big.

I'm not in love with the Golf R nor the CLA SB, but wouldn't 'kick them out of bed for eating crackers'.

My 530 only gets used about once a week for grocery runs. I considered 18" wheels, but there really isn't much desire in my heart to modify that slab of wagon. I'm lucky if I remember to change the oil.

18's were stock and given the size of the pot holes around here, I stayed with them for a higher sidewall

last time i checked RS6 is not availalbe. but RS7 is....

If not because of Audi's horrible lease program, i think more people would be interested in the RS7 compared to M5 and M6.

I know it isn't available. However, only like 2 cars in that top 10 list that was posted are even available here.

The RS7 is an amazing car. My dad got his back in October. I would love to have a wagon with the same engine.

yes it is.

I would take RS7 over any of its current competitors in the US in a heart beat, if the lease payment is not 1.5 times more.

There was an all black RS7 (tinted windows, black wheels, trim) here in Siesta Key at our condo parking lot one afternoon. BAD ASS! No pics sorry.

^ I'd have an E63 Estate over the C63 Shooting Brake.
Not available in the US, but I'd have the new C63 Estate over both.

The new regular estate one doesn't really do anything for me. The AMG one and the red and black interior are perfect.

The Barabus is just insane but that is expected.

The wheels on the Gullwing America one look more old muscle car style to me. I wonder how they would look on my Vagon?

i think she might have a different opinion about that.

Remember, what is hers is hers. What is yours is hers. What will be yours is hers.

That includes your BRZ.
