    So the list of cool, ridiculously powerful wagons not available in the USA looks something like this:

    M5 Touring

    RS6 Avant

    GT-R thingy


    I guess I'll keep driving my V70R for now...

    By lowering the ride height compared to a normal estate, they have in turn lowered the loading height, and so made the vehicle more practical.


    I call that very thoughtful indeed.

    I didn't like GT-R, but I do like the idea of a GT-R that can haul around half my family. Thing is, Mercedes and BMW have offered rubber burning family wagons for a while now. Audi too.

    @Stoatmaster: The only references I can find to a Volvo 2300ES just give me pics of an 1800ES.

    Although it was originally so named (in typical euro fashion) because of it's 1.8 four, and Volvo of course sold millions of 2.3s (maybe they still are, for all I know), so maybe the 2300ES is just a version I've never heard of?
