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?
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 =(
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.
