I would take it over a 300TD any day!

I like the roof line and the huge glass windows. Wonder if you can fit a second and third row seat into it...

Talking I like those wagens

I've never seen one of these with luggage racks...wonder why that is....

I still say, put a coffin inside there, with some huge subs...what a sound system you could have....

A chrome plated hangman's noose would be great, dangling in the rear window

And a personalised vanity license plate for sure.

I am thinking:

'R U NEXT"


or


"4U 1DAY"

The roof rack is for the cost conscious German.....

for a double funeral.

The guy riding in the roof gets a substantial discount!

I guess they don't need it with only one passenger in the back.

It would be handy to know the part numbers for springs and shocks and associated hardware, (for those who don't want to maintain their SLS.)

With that 60hp diesel you will rot and turn to dust before they get you in the ground...

Very cool!
