I love this type of thing and it frustrates me to no end that Americans pay a premium for slow, lumbering SUVs when they could have awesome wagons. Even hatchbacks gets short shrift here: being dubbed as "ecoboxes" or commuter cars. What I wouldn't give for some Volvo Type Rs, Mercedes A class AMG (w/ AWD), this…
