Agreed, something about it isn't working for me. I think the E46 & F31 look better in Touring form.

The 2018 Audi RS6 Performance will be the last iteration of the company’s third-generation “C7” look for the hugely powerful people hauler, and it’s a glorious sendoff. The 597 horsepower station wagon screams.

Someday, an RS6 Avant+
The sound of that AMG....
And hanging the ass end out like a French whore on Bastille Day? Priceless.

Great lines ... but that white interior is horrible....

I love the way the 2019 Volvo V60 layers luxury car fanciness with station wagon usefulness. It might look a little faster than it is, but what the V60 lacks in sheer adrenaline it makes up for in versatility, comfort and safety. Long live the longroofs.

Imagine a turbo V6 or (hold your hats) a small V8 with about 380~400HP and AWD? That would be the ultimate Volvo wagon.

The Sportbrake is a very impressive vehicle and I’m amazed that it’s even sold in America.
But the whole time I was behind the wheel, I kept wondering how incredible it could be if it had just two more cylinders.
[...]
The wagon bodystyle—remember, the Sportbrake is only available with the supercharged V6 and all-wheel drive—makes this XF a superbly executed do-everything car. While it didn’t seem as cavernous as, say, the Mercedes E-Class wagon, it will meet nearly all of your daily cargo and luggage-carrying needs. The interior is a clean-looking, modern place to spend time, and the back seat is generously roomy.
It’s all very balanced—comfortable, powerful, practical.
I expected all of that, because that’s what everyone should expect from a modern luxury car, especially one that nearly gets into the six-figure range. What I didn’t expect was for this midsize wagon to be such a capable and fun handler on twisty roads.

A great looking wagon. Pretty sure they are basically order only and never stocked.

Jaguar North Houston has 3 in stock. $76-80k
But, they also have 21 XF Sedans. So definitely a low stock item.

I have not seen any in Charlotte area at all yet other than one Tyler sent me a picture of he saw. Early on they were not stocked but things must be changing. Just checked our Charlotte dealers page after you posted the stock down there and they have 10 of them now
But yeah the price is crazy on them. Hopefully they depreciate well

Interesting.... instead of this, they should make a 5 series shooting brake instead of that 6GT shit.

I can see a resemblance a bit minus 2 doors.
Better question is when are you getting one?

That is not gonna happen... it will be hacked in 24 hours and no one would ever have to pay for toll road again.

Pretty sure if that was sold in the states I would immediately list my Vagon on BaT.
