F*ck the coupe, where's the wagon at?

till someone ends up with an RPG to the face.

This must be where Pontiac got this wonderful idea from ...

The story of how the Buick Reatta got built.

The GM/Fiat put option fiasco aka the Italian Job.

Brown Diesel Wagon

Yep and all those Lucas electrical bits! Don't forget about those.

TVR Griffith - arguably the most beautiful Frankenstein parts bin car ever made. Rover engine, rear lights from a Vauxhall Cavalier, ashtray (remember those) form an Austin Allegro, brakes from a Escort Cosworth 4x4, radiator from a Range Rover, and the sound of it from GOD HIMSELF.

Mitsubishi Expo LRV - basically had the drive train of a Galant VR-4. Ultimate rally sleeper.

Touche - it is a factory mod, but what a mod it is.

Le Car. Silly in standard form, evil and hot in Turbo 5 form.

Happy to see my Matra Rancho suggestion made the cut. And we've now broken the Jalopnik record for successive days with Matra Rancho comments. Two.

Matra Simca Rancho.

So very very sad. I have an actual Saab brochure for this wagon somewhere. Tonight I will find it, read it, and cry.

Cruelest joke ever. And you did it! YOU JALOPNIK!

so many little cars, too little time

Mazda - It went from a cog in the Ford empire, where it had access to endless resources and cross-engineered all sorts of products with Ford, to basically the word's smallest independent major car company.

Autostadt Automated Parking Garage Towers. So cool, they should be in a 'good' movie.

FUCK NO. I've you have one kid, a wagon will do.

Can we go there yet? Truth be told, it reminds me of this. The whole package looks 5 years too late.
