Peter, I disagree. A wagon is more than just a sedan with a big trunk and a tailgate! Just like a coupe is more (or less) than a sedan with two fewer doors.

Suspension, for one, is different in a wagon. There are other differences as well.

Benz has been officially building wagons since 1977. Before that, there was a finny-based wagon. That was a custom job, sanctioned by Benz, but built by a different body/coach maker (in Belgium I believe).

There are W123 wagons, there are W124 wagons, there are W210 and W211 wagons and there are W203 wagons.

Wagons have a large following and wagon owners are just as fanatical (or crazy, as the caew may be) as SL owners, or owners of any of the othe r"specialty" Benzes.

I think it would be a lot of fun to have a wagons only section. If people post in the wagon area with a problem and do not get an answer to their question, they can always go to the other sections.

Try it it for a couple of months, if it does not work, then kill it....

Come on Webmaster, feed our addiction for wagons (see my gallery).
