The Official Wagon/Avant Discussion Thread
#2321
I sort of get the whole wagon/avant intrigue. In the past had my eye on an E320 Wagon, an All-Road and more recently CTS 3.6 Wagon but never pulled the trigger because A.I couldn’t get my wife to buy-in B.Don’t want to deal with the time + $ of constant maintenance and repair. I mean there is a reason after 5+ years these former $60k luxury wagons depreciate so much that they are the same price as same year Camrys. I would like to think that, being on an Acurazine I understand that we are car enthusiasts and you guys have some sense of rationality for reliability and space with the wagon but isn’t a German wagon some weird practicality oxymoron? ![Wink](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
PS- I picked up an MDX for the wife instead which has been great. Also, for my next DD I am fiending for a VW MK7 GTI 4-door 6MT PP. And here is an obligatory wagon shot from local CL. 2004 V6 113k miles $4.5k clean but Auto =(

To add to the Mazda6 Wagon that we can't have in the US, the Mondeo (Fusion) ST-Line

Damn that is actually a really good looking wagon. I think it actually looks better than the sedan.

Wow would't that be an awesome wagon with the RS engine and AWD. It could be a competitor to Audi wagons.

I was really hoping an R design version would happen. That looks great. Now I just hope it makes production and doesn't cost $100k so it could never be affordable.

C450 AMG Estate
May be a 'baby AMG' but I'd rock it!
Sadly, we haven't had a C-Estate in the US since the W202 (2nd gen C-Class)

That doesn't look bad but I think looks wise I would still take the Allroad over it and just lower it.

I like the way the E Wagon looks, but as I've said before, I'm just not a MBZ kinda guy. That brand is a bit much for me.
