  • how wagons can be fun



    the more these squat down like a 5 foot tall, 64.5 inch wide 87 subaru.. the more I acknowledge my own mind. (these two wagons are spectacular)

    what is that, like 180,000.00 worth of UGLY? Sorry Barry -I love a wagon, but both of these cars are styling abortions to my eye. The Cad in particular offends me. The Benz belt line looks like a frown, and the grill looks like a masochistic grin. The Cad, what the hell?! Did they take a block of cheese and cut off a couple of slices then call it done?

    This should not be the only modelling tool for a Cadillac:

    Yeah, they're hammers, but damn. They hurt my eyes. This is what a wagon should look like:

    or even this nasty thing (Dad had a 1970 just like this, a 10.5:1 429 cid premium fuel only land yacht)

    but until I see some fake wood panelling, I'm not going 70k for a cheese-block "wagon". I think Dodge got damn close with this one and people avoided it in droves.

    Still needs some Brady-ization with fake wood panel. That "wood" rock.

    Thanks for the link though, I about had a stroke on the pricing. Ouch.

                In what a 4100lb car. Beats the 260-270 in my 4600lb. 95 caprice wagon and I like it. ( O.K I like all but 500 pounds of it

                      quite a find for local.

                      I remember a four door that got a 350..very light, like malibu of 79.

                      The new wagons may be ugly, but conquer a subject that even drives me crazy into a 1987 pile of metal: physics.

                      I mention the oddball sube for the small windows, much wider than tall..been playing a trick on eyeballs since it was made.

                      I'd love the hemi wagon too.. all those new thoughts, the back end raked and level simultaneous. front ends get smashed into.. I never pay attention to beauty.
