'67 Volvo Amazon


'78 Trans Am Kammback


'00 Pontiac Hurst Hauler

I'm going to be a smartass here...

I like this one.



And I always wanted one of these but my parents never bought me one:



As for the real topic.. do you consider the new mini-suv/crossovers/hatchbacks wagons? I drive a Toyota Matrix and never know how to classify it. It's not exactly a wagon like a Dodge Magnum, but it's definitely not a sedan or an SUV, either.

That is a hell of a pimp-ass Volvo. I want it now.
I consider them full-size hatchbacks or baby SUVs.

I've seen that Volvo before. It is 100% badass.

My wagon.

It's, well, "not quite stock."

The wagons above are all very nice, I like 'em all even the little red one ...I've always had a soft spot for American Muscle Wagons. As a younger man, a couple of my buddies had stuff like '57 Chevy sedan delivery stripped out, built 327, straight front axle; another had a '58 Chevy sedan delivery ...the sedan delivery was like a wagon but no glass in back so you could have more privacy with your girl.

I also saw that Volvo posted previously, I think even here ...but most recently a few more pics on another forum I'll pop up since they show interior and engine work:

Yeah, I've seen that Volvo here, I think, still love the simple, understated, cleanness of it. That first Mopar wagon is awesome too!

bad ass wagons remind me of how much I like old school gasser wagons, e.g.

'46 Chevy sedan delivery




This is wild and probably fun

Until you & your gf have to much to drink one night. Just try stepping out of that w/o falling flat on your face

Probably the most badass wagon available for new purchase today:





Dodge Magnum SRT8 - 425 HP

don't drink and drive ...I think it's not as "bad" as this one


That SRT8 wagon is serious meat. But if cost was not an issue (i.e., I would never buy this) a C63 AMG Estate Wagon is a pretty awesome station wagon with muscle car/sport car performance



I don't know what to make of this ...Skyline GT-R wagon or look-alike?

We always had wagons growing up. It's all about the trunk baby!

Youtube is full of fun stuff like this:

Had one of these in 2002. Fast car, all the creature comforts, but front wheel drive. Fun though......
