Yeah it's hard to go for the Avant when we have a Sienna. I can just put Juno in the car seat without bending down. He can look out the window and see more things from higher point of view. Literally never have to worry about the cargo space hahahaha stroller fits in like nothing behind 3rd row. Insane.

We are gonna do a quick getaway trip again soon with the van! Can't wait.

I posted this in the auto news thread for the V60 but it's looking pretty good to me. The T8 PHEV would be absolutely PERFECT for my needs. I drive 1.5 miles to work, 7 miles to the gym, and 6 miles (~15mi total counting other things) home all city driving. With an all electric range of 25ish miles, I could go a very long time between fill ups and wouldn't have to worry about the sh1t 15mpg the Jeep gives me on the same commute in the winter. On top of that, the 380hp and 4.9s to 60 performance means it's fast AF.

Waiting for price/lease info before pursuing more...

Just saw this on the BMW forum..

while it is subtle but the amount of work he/the shop had put into it... I can't imagine how much work just to make that rear bumper.
i have so many questions about it like how is X drive drivetrained being handled with the M3/4 motor.

^ My guess is that they just ditched the Xdrive and went RWD.

Also,

That thing is gorgeous. Love the color.

Another, IMO, nice looking wagon we don't get here.

Looks nice enough, but I'd take a Volvo over this any day. Also, not quite sure about that cream interior....

Apologies for the crappy phone shots, but saw this beauty of a Vagon on the way to work yesterday. Very pleased to report that the driver was a middle-aged woman ....

Applying for my wagon card

Unfortunately they decided to ship only the country tourer version and not the sports tourer but regardless I love the car so far.

Wonder how much work it would be to have all the cladding sanded and painted to match? Regardless congrats on the new wagon. Would love to see some more pictures when you get some time.
