The sarcasm didn't come through. I was being a smart ass.

And you know if you really wanted to haul ass you wouldn't buy a station wagon to begin with. I will say I almost bought an Audi station wagon at an auction because fast and good handling yet still functional is cool and then I reminded myself it was a VW and it would probably break down the day I took it off the lot.

OK, but plenty of wagons haul ass just fine, you just don't have access to any of them. The only Murica wagon that was worth a shit was the CTS V wagon and there's vids of them outrunning Ferraris floating around. And as you mentioned, still have all the utility of a wagon. VWs actually tend to be really reliable, I've known quite a few friends and family members that owned them and were very happy. If Audi ever brings the RS3 sportback to the US, my bank account is doomed. LOL Hell, even Subie dropped the 5 door hatch WRX, bastids. Americans fragile little egos just can't handle the stigma of driving a wagon, because for a lot of people their car defines who they are. Which is silly and inherently flawed logic.

Nice fiddy five Dodge, its cars like that that would make it into my collection if i got into money that allowed me to stockpile cars.


There are very little of the modern stuff i would burn money on, i am not going to buy one single of the so called hyper cars, those i leave to rich people with no class and little taste.

First of all as they said in top gear, its not a car if you cant drive it over a speed bump or a curb.

Haven't seen that video of the Caddy beating Ferraris!

My experience is just the opposite with VWs. Even had one family member's brand new Jetta die during the first month of ownership. The fix was quick, but it still had to be towed to the dealership.

I would respectfully disagree. I've been very happy with my Magnum R/T for 10 years now, and it was available as an SRT8 also.

Yep, forgot about the Dodge. They should resurrect it with the Hellcat powerplant.

That went out the window long ago in this thread, but if you insist.
