presonally i’d take a wagon over a sedan…in most cases. i just think the wagons look better Subi Legacy wagon Volvo wagon Audi A6 wagon etc… SUV’s just are not practical for 1/2 the people that own them…its just a status symbol, or they get it cause its the norm. there is no question that i’d take an AWD wagon (caddy SRX, subi legacy, audi all-road, etc…) hands down over a SUV, unless i needed to tow a boat/trailor, or lived in the mountains & needed to go off-roading on my commute. ---

by definition, the station wagon edition of any car is far gayer than its sedan counterpart. Just because this particular station wagon does not have a slightly straighter 4 door kin doesnt absolve it from the shame and faggotry that comes with being a wagon. Wagons are for soccer moms and in the closet homos that are trying to subliminaly soften up their friends for the impending shock. The latter part also applies to guys who own Miatas (not the people that own them because they are cheap, RWD and light), people that own V6 or Non-turbo versions of sports cars, and last but not least, pink jettas. So if you meet any of these guys, make sure to keep them in front of you. ---

Well it looks like I’m passing on the Saabaru. Not because of Darkstar’s faggotry or anything, but they just didn’t want to work the deal w/ the down I wanted to do. I still need some free cash for the Camaro and up-comming AutoXs and mods. I didn’t feel like exhausting all my “available” $ to make the deal happen. They still said they’d call me back today and let me know if they could make it happen where I wanted it to, so there’s still a slim chance I’ll get a call today saying it’s on. -TJ ---

You’re just mad because your tranny does all your shifting for you. 5 doors \> 4 doors this applies across the board, from Vista Cruisers to Aveos. ---

> [@rookee](#): > > :greddy: ps… other than a 5series every other car you named is smaller than the maxima… you must be talkin “New” maxima and still i think the G35 sedan is close to the same. i can name more if ou want “New” Maxima size. TL, Lincoln LS, Caddy CTS, IS300, Saab 95, Passat, Volvo S60 is that better…all are probably more then a maxima & close in size if not bigger…& i’d take every one of them in a stick over an auto. > [@rookee](#): > > and as soon as i get better i’m gonna wax your ass on the ball court beotch! :blue: we’ll see… :blah: ---
