Wagon come in
There is a used car dealer in Connecticut that has had a blue wagon for quite some time. I think there is a story behind it cause no-one has picked it up

My '14 is hard to look at ... I approach it with squint-eyes and a hand held up. Once inside I'm pretty fracking happy though. Wish there was some other interior beside black. People who order $100k+ cars actually prefer black over every other leather option? Really ?
I would have ordered Cardinal Red with Amaretto leather. There was one in Pittsburgh that sold in 3 seconds. I was one second late.

That's the only way to get these ( off lease ) unless you live where people order them (where the millionaires congregate).
I saw one at my local MB dealership -- 5 miles away, and it was sold before it made the internet... shipped to Boston.
I bought mine sight-unseen after looking ~ 2 years and missing a few heart-breakers (Cardinal Red/Amaretto, every option)... but before signing decided to drive down to Bethesda... ended up driving it home and having my SL trucked back to me. Was a very good idea. Passed the Acela on the way home... actually, the Acela passed me on a long straight section of 495 below PHilly, and I caught up to it and passed it.
These cars are murderers.
I don't like the paint or the interior colours, but the wheels and B+O pushed me over and I couldn't wait any more after selling my bespoke VR

I don't like the loud exhaust... wish there was an off button (there are so many options on the menus).
The carbon brakes are grabby ... you have to imagine that the brake pedal is a cactus.
That said ...
... absolute power corrupts absolutely !

My wife has a 2016 wagon. Silver and black interior, carbon fiber trim. She loves it.
The trip from the dealer in Behtesda to philly was awesome. And then an out and back to the shore ~ 500 km total but mostly on freeways with light traffic ( but with wife-brake).
Taking another trip down the ACE tomorrow AM.
still looking for a name ...
it's not anything like any car I've ever owned ... so massive ... so awesomely powerful...

BTW... PeteW... were you a V70R owner? Your posts are hilarious and you sound just like a guy who used the same screen name on swedespeed. I enjoy your humor, and like your taste in cars, but Cardinal Red with brown seats?? Really? Just to get worst combo award?
