I voted NP, only because I love Volvo wagons. Truly, though, that’s T5-R territory...

V50?

Obviously, there are exceptions to everything. I think when an American thinks “wagon”, they think back to the Caprices and Country Squires they rode around in as kids and it makes them averse. Again, all SUV/CUVs are technically station wagons, the car companies have just done a bang up job of marketing them as

Those people (CUV buyers) would never buy a wagon. I’ve had people turn their nose up at a Dodge Journey (I know, I know) because I pointed out that it was basically a high-roof station wagon; I’ve had people try to back out of a deal because the title of their CUV/SUV said “station wagon”. I don’t know why these

Is it pedantic to point out the Starion is not a DSM car? Thought so.

Might I suggest this as an alternative?

Is it bad I have prancing moose badges on my 850?

I seem to remember 80's GM cars carrying OHV badges. It was impressive in 1902, GM, not so much eighty years later.

That looks like my second Celebrity wagon. It was a ‘90 Eurosport with a 3.1 V6. That thing was great; ran without oil for months.

Good enough for James Bond, good enough for me...

In theory, that car could to the ton, but I don’t know what situation exists that would make that happen. Bonneville, maybe?

They should build the car as if George Trosley drew it.

A Celebrity wagon with the Iron Duke and nine passengers will top out at 45mph. Just trust me on this one.

Yes, they drive a Caprice PPV. It’s longer, heavier, and has a smaller motor than the SS.

It looks like it should have a window sticker that reads, “Driver must wear an Affliction shirt and have a tribal tattoo to operate this vehicle”.

This. With T-Tops and a cassette deck.

The LTZ should have a Bose stereo and it sounds pretty good. Those 3.6 Impalas are sneaky fast.

My go-to recommendation for people who want a great car on a budget is an ‘06-’13 Impala. It isn’t the flashiest or most technologically advanced, but it’s huge, comfortable, reliable, and gets almost 30mpg on the highway. My favorite years are the ‘12 and ‘13 (you could still get the old body style in ‘14, but

Exactly. Saab people think this:
