Like I said before- get over your ego! A sport wagon says you are smart

One of the most bad *** cars ever produced was a Wagon-
The Audi RS4, ooo! AAHH!! Ohh! drool

Yeah that thing kicks major ***. I forget all of Ingolstadt's wagon lines, but don't they also have an RS6 Avant that has like 380hp. Could you imagine handing a vette its *** in a station wagon?

Yes, they do have an RS6 but for me it is too big and only comes with a manumatic.
You can see off a lot of cars with a WRX wagon, with $1500 in mods you can pretty much see off the rest, that is until the tranny goes

Why do you guys care that you drive a wagon? It's a really nice looking wagon, or a pretty ugly hatch...you choose what you wanna call it

Let's begin our therapy

Let's begin our therapy

I will go first.


Hi, my name is Morgan (ok say it at your computer-Hi Morgan)
I lie awake at night wondering if my friends will talk to me if I tell them I drive a stationwagon. I have dreams that my Mazda Protege5 is suddenly gold color with wood grain sides. I park around the corner from my house, so none of my neighbors will see me. But the car is SO MUCH FUN! I can't stop driving it around, I look for reasons just to go for a ride (of course I wear a mask so no one will recognize me) The most amazing part is, I can put stuff in it, and if people were willing to be seen with me, I could put 3 adults and myself in the car comfortably. What should I do?

I JUST WANT TO BE LOVED, IS THAT SO WRONG!!!!

'
I feel so much better now, thanks

Hi Morgan,

My name is Karen and I drive a wagon and I am not ashamed of it. My friends all love my wagon and want to ride in it all the time! I am 29 years old and completely at ease with my choice of vehicles.

The reason I wanted a sport wagon in the first place was because I had the opportunity to test drive an Audi wagon (but could not afford the payments) and have been hooked on wagons ever since.

This is not my father's (or my mother's) 1980 Ford Whatever Huge Brown Bucket Wagon, but a sassy little Zoom-Zoom Wagon.

I feel better already.

OK, OK, I was a bit untruthful, this is my SECOND station wagon! My first a Ford Escort Wagon, I loved it (kind of). I am a soon to be 31 year old, photographer, who needs to put lots of equipment in cars (and airplanes).
I was patiently waiting for one of those little sports wagons from Japan and Europe to come to the US. For years I sat somberly looking through car magazines, waiting.
Then EUREKA! Subaru WRX, but wait, It was a little too much money for the moment. REJOICE! The Mazda Protege5

Whoa! I feel like running naked through the streets now

So you all are also saying thatFord made 2 Focus Wagons.
If 2 doors equals a hatchback and 4 doors equal a wagon, then Ford made 2 Focus Wagons. Am I right?

Yeah true. But that doesn't help since some ppl in different countries got it has a hatch and some got it as a wagon. Then the manufacture is confused themselves on what to name it.
