I tried and mobile app didn’t work. That’s why it didn’t work. Thanks for letting me know.

While I prefer a sporty wagon, the XC Volvos take the cake in the rugged wagon dept.

I wonder why MB can sell an E400 Wagon and Audi thinks they have no market for a S4 Avant?

MB > Cuckwagon?

Honestly, it's rare that I see an E-wagon around here. The most plentiful is probably the Outback followed by the VW Alltrack/GSW.

My question was along the same lines: why doesn't BMW intend to sell any wagons in 2019 here when other Germans still do? Must be the profit margin on the SAV's is higher and they're in more demand.

They should just sell a lowered suspension from the factory to convert X series to hatchbacks and wagons.

I've always liked the CT - just wish they put a manual in it. I would've snatched one up for a nice daily.

Those CT F-Sports are pretty dang nice...perfect daily driver. You can beat the shit out of them and still get 40 MPG

I've seen some with over 200k miles with no issues.

To be honest, mag blue ZEs with lowered height would make everything look decent haha

CT is a nice car that I would probably never buy

Good to hear. It is on the list of possibly vehicles to replace Megan's TSX in the next year or so.

Would sell CTS-V in a heartbeat for a green RS4/RS6 wagon. That is just beautiful.

Because we know the Audi has enough power to justify such an aggressive look?

I just configured a new RS4 on the Audi UK site. I chose just about everything minus the carbon ceramic brakes; total came out to $105k

I like having all of the buttons in a car

People who buy a luxury car with no options are crazy.
