Hey c5rv:

Come over and test drive any in my stable if you'd like. I'm in Rockford and you can see the wagon and three sedans. We can show you 15 of them or so from our club here. You can see what ones looks like that grew up in Michigan (salt) and the others from better parts (Houston, Atlanta & DC).

I'd advise buying from the South and avoiding the wagon unless you like the flexibility with hauling junk in the back or hauling 7 people. The reasons would be (1) cost, (2) rear suspension issues with the air system. Having said that, I do like the wagons but probably the sedans more.

Let me know if you want to stop by.

Don
