    @jaydez: That little homage to Peugot trunk droop adds a lot of elegance. I'm wondering whether it took more than one elephant standing on the bumper to get it right.

    I'll show you a 240 wagon done right. I found this one in downtown Toronto on Labour Day 2007:




    It had black on white Ontario truck plates!

    Anyone else get the feeling the guy built this car because he just got pissed off one day? Like he went to Ikea, and all his purchases wouldn't fit in the back of his station wagon, and out of frustration, he went home and got a plasma torch and welder?

    When I ever try to figure out what inspired something like this, I get a bad headache and start drinking heavily.


    Love the beautifully halfassed ladder rack, though.

    I rather like the back doors still being there. It reminds me of the Winchester Mansion. They are just trying to confuse the spirits, and by the look of this thing there are probably some evil spirits vying for its demise.

    Not bad, but I think that old Caddy parked ahead of it can still haul more dead hookers in the back. Plus, with a trunk that closes, they won't get all wet and soggy when it rains!

    @SirNotAppearing: Ok i see it to. So is this Honda's new design language for Acura? Or is this a hint that Honda is buying Volvo from Ford and just rebadging them as Acuras? Im so confused.


    Can you move a luxury brand down market? Wouldnt that be called "Mercury"


    And why the TSX? Its obviously a Crossover vehicle. I mean four doors (wagon), convertible hatch rear window (SUT/Truck/Avalanche), plus it has real hard wood accents. So wouldnt that be CSX?

    @SirNotAppearing: A Priumino may be the only thing that could de-smugify a Prius.


    Sadly, it could never happen. The extra coifing required for a mullet would use an inordinate amount of electricity and go against the green philosophy of Prius buyers.


    Ah hell, what am I talking about? These people just want to look like they are green as they go to their 6,000 sq. ft. home and then fly off for vacations in Tahiti.


    So, it might work.

    @SirNotAppearing: My somewhat redneck friend from the Colorado mountains drives a Prius. I'll see if I can convince him to mod it. I can just the back chopped up with an old Toyota truck bed bolted on. Sounds like a plan, guys.
