No problem, just put the same weight as the engine or more in the hatch. You'll be pulling wheelies at every acceleration. It would work better with the longer rear version.

It kind of looks like a w107 with a top and a hatch to it.

Okay, there you go. A soft top sports wagon. Would there be an optional removeable hard top?

Cool, Think there should be less glass in the rear. Maybe the "b" pillar (I think that is what it is called) should be raked the other way?

So far the AMG Gremlin is still looking cooler.

Here's the edit, plus a ragtop wagon. I know the windows are rendered poorly.

It would be awesome if someone would actually make one. I don't have the expertise for that kind of modification. I'm sure someone here could do it.

It sounds like there would be a few customers in line for one.

New career for Chad: Car designer.

If Chris Bangle can get paid for doing what he does, you ought to be able to get a job doing that easily, Chad.

That would be extremely cool. I'm sure it's like the advertising industry though ... very cut throat.
