Wagon Appreciation

Had a nice experience this weekend. I was filling up at a gas station near the NY/CT border, and a guy in a white mid/late 90s era Volvo 850R (for those of you who don't know, was a pretty hot machine in its day...) backs his car up next to mine and says "Hey man, I just gotta say, that's the sickest thing I've ever *******g seen...Wagons rule!" Then he rolled off. I just had to smile...

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Wagon is absolutely the best. I just have no idea why this country has such an aversion to wagon while loving SUV so much. After all, a SUV is pretty much a jacked up wagon with robust suspension.

actually it might have, at least for my step dad. He bought a griswold-esque wagon. The first car I drove was an '87 grand marquis wagon white with wood panels with a 5 liter v8 and seating for 10. It was awesome.

my first car was a blue 1983 Subaru GL and I had to share it with siblings. It wasn't 4wd and it wasn't a manual...and it was awesome. The '14 AMG wagon now is a little step-up but my wagon roots go way back in time

i'd buy a c63 507 wagon if they imported them to USA (wouldn't we all)
