Saw a few S4 & RS4 Avants while in Germany and France - they look amazing in person. Sadly, no RS6s, but I did spot one S6 Avant.

Are you the sort of person who lusts after uber-fast wagons like the Mercedes-AMG E63 S and Audi's RS6 Avant but find that pair too expensive, German, and...automated? Well, today's your lucky day. Built by Cleveland Power and Performance, this Dodge Magnum SRT-8 has had its stock 6.1-liter Hemi and five-speed automatic transmission swapped out for an even more macho 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 and the six-speed manual gearbox from a 2012 Challenger. Adding in a Procharger supercharger, it apparently makes a healthy 529 horsepower at the wheels and 528 pound-feet of torque when hooked up to the dyno. And instead of the six figures you'd have to cough up to get into the Mercedes or Audi, this 'roided-up Magnum is being sold for just $36,995

Mind you, 37 grand gets you quite a bit more than just a Magnum with a beefier powertrain and an extra pedal. The American super-wagon has been fitted with BC Racing adjustable coilovers, Hellcat Brembo brakes that've had their calipers painted orange, custom-painted Hellcat wheels, and aftermarket exhaust components from Kooks and Billy Boat. Sporting a complete repaint, most of this car is, in fact, a 2006 Dodge Magnum but Mopar nerds will likely notice that it's had its front end swapped out for the facelifted fascia from a 2008 model.

Now, I'm not personally a big muscle car guy, but I love this. I want this. I love the low-and-long surfboard shape. I love the wheels. I love how it sounds. I even love the legally-dubious tinted taillights. Snatch it up before we do.

Pretty neat. But you get a nice outdated 2006 interior as well. And what's up with the shape of the shifter?

Thats the pistol grip shifter from the Challenger. Its a throwback design. I had it in my old one and loved it.

The Levorg down under...... Short review, but with a CVT. The JDM WRX S4 and STI can get the 6 speed manual.

Maybe not in Hybrid guise, but the Mondeo/Fusion wagon is pretty decent looking. Fusion Sport Wagon....2.7TT + AWD

The Next Subaru WRX STI Is Probably Going To Look Like This Hot Japanese Wagon


Subaru showed off the new Subaru Levorg STI Sport concept wagon at the Tokyo Auto Salon and if history is any indication it’s probably almost exactly what the next Subaru WRX STI is going to look like. That’s a very good thing.

If the WRX/STI comes back as a wagon, doubt the US gets it, or in super limited production.

^ Not a wagon, IMO, but that gen Forester is a fun little CUV to run about in. Never driven one with the MT, but even the AT model XT was fun.

I would be pleased if the new STI is styled after this. I know we'd never see a wagon but I hope they offer a hatchback again. Along with the new engine, if this arrives by the end of next year I would seriously line up to order one.
