Too bad the TSX wagon doesn't have a stick, and a decent looking front end...and uh...power. Otherwise, the rest of it is pretty nice.
 
Tim, Dan Kyle was selling his charcoal V70R. Well taken care of....

I miss the french cars...no one else does quite as good a balance (handling vs comfort) suspension wise

I've never been to France, but they must have some really crappy roads :laughing

July. ;) You know you want to. French roads rock! From smooth to shitty, it's all there. :party

BTW, I miss French cars too, if only for their "fuck the rest of you guys" weirdness. :laughing

Turbo.

Original JCW package was supercharged but yea I guess I didnt notice they switched over to turbo chargers in 2007. Friend owned an earlier model which was the only "experience" ive had with a mini, and yes it was boring.
 
Mazda6 is an honorable mention...0-60 in over 7s kind of falls out of range, but given the limited field, I'll allow it...

By that criteria, the Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon, 9-3 SportCombi, Ford Focus, and 02 Saturn wagon start to fall in range.

I'd just as well opt for the MAZDASPEED3.
 
I added the 9-3 and 9-5... Ford Focus is a hatchback...The Saturn Wagon, while ugly, is slow.

C5 AllRoad. Hadn't been specifically mentioned yet.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audi_A6_allroad_quattro

With an ECU mod the 2.7T is good for 310hp and 350 ft./lb of torque. Comes with a 6-speed. Can be found in good shape for less than $12k. Main thing you have to look out for (aside from standard Audi stuff like timing belt, cooling system, etc.) is making sure that if the car is around the 100k mark that the suspension has either been replaced or has been converted to a traditional shocks/springs setup as the adjustable suspension is major $$$ to replace once it goes out. Aside from that, the AllRoad is a fucking awesome car that will haul a bunch of stuff and haul ass. With the small turbos it's power is focused between 1500 and 4500 rpm so its great for being able to just stab the pedal and fly rather than having to wind out the engine like you do with an E36 M3.

Just my two pennys....
 
My dad built one almost exactly like this one. 1970 Chevelle SS wagon with a 454 and 4 on the floor. The thing was the epitome of BAD, and it really did haul. I remember my dad giving a new '95 Impala SS a run for its money on 580. The guy couldn't believe an old wagon was still right with him - we met him later at the car show and he said he finally backed off at 135! We had no idea how fast we were going, but it's a cool story, bros.
