Do IT! Such a beautiful wagon. It accomplishes the one thing the V lacks which is a larger amount of storage.

Yeah... it's pretty hot. I also heard rumors (really whispers of rumors) of a potential Black Series version of the Wagon. If that happens I'm selling a kidney now, just in case!

I also really like the E-Coupe, but from what I read only the E43 model will be in the US. Something tells me they'll bring the E63 Coupe over, but as of now, it's Europe only...

1. sell kidney
2. buy black series estate
3. profit

I can't see anything that can go wrong here so I support this.

Well, most people have two kidneys to give up. Is dialysis worth a Ferrari?

According to my wife's partner at work: No. No, it's not worth it.

Went to see the V90 at the local Volvo dealership...this wagon has me at hello. Gorgeous gorgeous.


But, the allroad, now that it has the 360 view for parking...I think it's back in the lead and it's much cheaper than the Swedish wagon.

Y'know, as pretty as the Allroad is, there's a zillion Audis around here and I don't like seeing myself on every other street corner. The V90 is a truly pretty car as I've only seen it in pics can't believe how nice it must be in the flesh. I built a V90 just now and it came in at $59, 270 which is only $4k more than the Audi. I still think the V90 is the lead contender.

I agree with Chief I would take the Volvo over the Audi as it is just so beautiful and I love Audi wagons.

That thing was posted on 6speedonline not too long ago. Most replies were concerned about the rear air ride and rebuilt transmission. Believe he was asking around $29k. Should be interesting to see what the auction goes up to...

^ Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the E55 as a wagon and that one has some serious mileage on it, both literally and figuratively. I'd pass on it as well...
