Been pulled over in the Wagon twice, once for headlight, another for a little over limit.

You come off like a nice loveable fuzzball...of course I am middle-aged, which may have something to do with it. But sent on with a warning. On speeding, the officer listened to the v8 rumble at idle and said, "Yeah, we used to have those (Caprices) and they are hard keep running slow".

Dopy GM stopped making them, when they sold all they made and at a decent profit...no incentives like the SUV's. As one dealer said, "some dealers ordered all they could get and sold them all, while some ordered none. GM didn't know what they had." Now, look at the new Dodge magnum wagon, which seems to do well.

Also, the 1996 has fuel injection and starts instantly and runs very smoothly to the red line...nice when pulls like a train when pulling out in front of a semi on an on-ramp.

Take a tape measure and compare the numbers. The new Chrysler Pacifica actually has a smaller opening height at the rear opening than the wagon, while getting poorer fuel economy.

Also, my grandchildren lover to ride looking backward out the rear facing third seat...

If you have a boat, esp. big, you really want a wagon...unless you like the elegance of the poor mpg of an SUV...
