It totally makes sense why Buick would only offer it as a lifted wagon since that seems to be the only way automakers can sell wagons successfully in the U.S.

But as a wagon enthusiast, it also saddens me since we (the U.S.D.M.) always misses out on the sweeter non-SUV wagon variants.

Oh this awesome! I haven’t seen this ad before. Totally. I forgot that you could hear what must be a father talking to his kids. Makes it even sweeter.

LOL there are quite a few videos of people in stock Outbacks climbing test hill.

Even people with lowered WRXs can navigate around the Silver Lake sand dunes with relative ease.

Picture below is of a stock 2000 Outback going up test hill.

I commented and said the same thing!

The overall profile of it reminds me of the pre-face lifted Ford Explorer. Looks great though.

Polestar Blue was actually the color I wanted! But not many were offered stateside especially on the V60 T6 RD. In fact, I only have seen one or two on the market since I started looking last year.

Yes, the blue Polestar badge does contrast rather nicely with the red paint. :)

Hell yeah they are. Even finding a clean auto with decent mileage is almost impossible to find. I spent the first half of the year searching nation wide for “clean” V70Rs and couldn’t find one.

I gave up and ended up buying a 2015 Passion Red V60 T6 R-Design.

oh yeah left out the B-52....

That’s where they should have been priced from the start.

I see this working great for fighter jets, and smaller aircraft, but what about larger aircraft like a KC-135, or a C-5? Is there less concern with them?

My wife is currently leasing a 2015 Equinox LT FWD, with the base 2.4L and it’s definitely not my favorite vehicle. Fortunately it’s only a two year lease and we’re coming up on year one.

But my biggest gripe is the drivetrain and powertrain, so the new 2018 Equinox seems to address my complaints.

We also went with…

Samesies.

“Also, I hope the drivers don’t get in trouble with Ford in addition to whatever legal penalties they have to suffer.”

That’s why Ford has private test tracks all over the world. They specifically have tracks with the proper safety measures taken to allow driving at those speeds and not endanger the lives of other…

Exactly! I was riding my DRZ400S with two friends on some very technical ORV trails up in Michigan’s upper peninsula this past weekend and even though the trails were rated for ATVs, I was able to easily get through obstacles that my friends in their sport ATVs were starting to have difficulty with. Four wheels are…

The new Compass looks better than the Cherokee. There, I said it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..................................................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA..........................................AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAH............ yeah that’s not gonna happen....

Nice! I have a ‘15 V60 T6 R-Design that I’m keeping until the V90's depreciate!

I love that the V60 actually has some towing capability. I tow a small single motorcycle trailer with a dual sport occasionally when riding trails that are far enough for me to not want to ride to them and back.

I know Volvo has to come out with the Cross Country since that’s the only way they can sell wagons in the U.S. Strangely, it’s funny how many Volvo CCs are in my own neighborhood in the Suburban/Metro Detroit Area.

I drive down a dirt road on average once or twice a year when I take my kayak over to a local state park…

I can see it happening with the F-150, but I can’t see that happening any time soon with their medium and heavy duty trucks.

I’ve never been a “truck guy” before, nor have I ever owned one, but I really like the 2017 Ford Raptor. And this news makes me want it even more.
