Damn that rig is tempting.

I'd have to dump the S600 in order to swing it. I'm not so sure it'll do 0-60 in 4 secs flat. Probably low 4's-- fast enough.

I got buzzed by one the other night on I95. I tried to follow but couldn't keep up he was cranking! Throw some E350 4Matic badges on the rear trunk lid and its perfect.


I don't know why people don't like wagons in this country, when done right they are not only totaly cool, but usefull! Just think of all that you can carry in the back, or how easy it is to do girls back their!

It's a tough call. The most intriguing thing about the wagon to me is there are so few sport wagons and its a wolf in sheep's clothing, like almost camouflaged but still a major head turner for car enthusiast like us. One of the most sought after and crowd attracting Ferraris is the 456 Estate I am not sure how many were built <10? Your 600 has similar traits but not like the wagon, do you remember the Ferrari chat thread I posted about the guy who's 355 got blown away by an s600 with the kids waving bye bye in the back window?

Imagine the potential of the wagon

Do it Ted, Do it...come on

Damn

That car is money. I always said I'd get an E55 wagon of a sedan; 200MPH and seating for 7 Its a must to have seven passenger seating. I would also debadge everything except the AMG and V8 Kompressor on the sides. You'd absolutely tear everyone apart with that car.

If I were single, it would be "doable". My wife is sick and tired of keeping cars for a year then selling them. Pay all that sales tax/title/etc. I have an idea, but the car will be sold before I could check a few things... or maybe not.

Just make sure you have the Yosemite Sam mudflaps on and the Garfield stick on animal in the back window, next to the baby on board sign

I saw a Porsche Carrera 4S cranking down the Newport bridge with Yosemite Sam mudflaps on...I like the sense of humor

I don't get it either. We own 3 wagons: the 300TE, the C320 and the Volvo V70. I would love to have a "stealth" wagoon.

Wagons kick a$$!


I love the versatility of my 300TE. Hell, the G500 is considered a wagon as well!

An E55 wagon. Imagine the trouble one can cause. And when pulled over, "officer, I am in a Wagon.... They aren't that fast."

Brief hijacking in progress...

A friend was tutoring a woman to read who pronounced that, "Yoza-mite" Sam. Not to disparage the woman struggling for literacy, but hearing of that tickled my funnybone so bad that I still read mudflaps as, "Yoza-mite."

Only the mudflaps with the chrome ladies would be worthy of that fine automobile.

Dude aren't those third row seats rear facing? That'd be a trip!
