I am a car nut. I check out their profiles, amenities and am a sucker for a manual transmission and high horsepower. What I cannot put my finger on is why I like wagon-style vehicles as much as I love an Audi R8. Perhaps it's the practical side of me...
I am not keen on these:
A super car front end cannot compensate for the wagon rear end on this conglomeration.
Fugly.
Was it the numerous viewings of National Lampoon's Family Vacation that inspired me? I dunno...
But, I drive this: the '07 Ford Focus ZXW (ZXW = Zippy X-hilerating Wagon?). And I love it, even though it's been tagged as a grocery-getter and I have heard all the Ford jokes one can muster up. Now, to be mildly hip, I did buy a black one and tinted the windows, so it's pimpin'! *wink, wink*
But I am diggin' these...
The Saab.
Beloved by most Canadians: the all-wheel drive Subaru.
Mmmm. Audi Quattro!
And my new fave....
The all-new Cadillac CTS wagon. Delish.
Happy Hump Day.
Cheers!

i have a honda fit, and i know that is a mom car. whatever. i still love it!
oooooh no gurl, you did not just diss the paneled station wagon. I have a warm place in my heart for those. We had one as a kid. I roll in a wagon myself. I dig the wagon.
I learned to drive in a family truckster. It was lovely.
I am the daughter of a car freak, and sort of have the gene. I love a good wagon. Had that focus wagon and as cute as it was, it drove like crap. Right now both the other half and I both have subaru wagons (outback and forester) and love love love them. Gotta have 4 wheel drive in the north.
I also am in love with the little volvo V50 wagon that sort of has the focus silhouette.
I think I have just outed myself as a car geek.
I L*O*V*E my wagon! Originally ought to haul stuff to crafts shows (it's loaded up right now!) but also perfect for yard sales + picking up furniture finds on the side of he road!
My dream car is a Volvo 240 Wagon. I don't know what that says about be, that my dream car can be purchased for a couple thousand.
