Aaron just moved to Los Angeles and is about to have a baby. He needs a bigger car but it absolutely cannot be a crossover, it has to be the body style we all love on this fine website: a wagon. What car should he buy?
While the current look of the Chevrolet Camaro has taken a turn for the worse, the fifth-generation car went a long way in reestablishing a classic. Someone at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise found a way to make it look even better—they made it a wagon.
Station wagon backends are like hats: the jauntier the angle the more fun that’s implied. The angle of the rear glass on today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Audi Avant is pretty steep and the car looks pretty fun. Let’s see if its price is equally steep and, well, less fun.
Fred Durst is mostly known for being the lead singer of Limp Bizkit, so you would think his social media feeds would be full of.... you know what? I really don’t know. Nu metal? Backwards hats? It doesn’t matter. What matters is that Fred Durst’s instagram is almost entirely full of old woody station wagons.
Sam has a 2005 Mini Cooper S, which is a fine little car, but not quite practical for a growing family. He wants something sporty, fun, and practical and has a pretty healthy budget to accomplish this task. What car should he buy?
Kyle Long’s 1966 Volvo 122S wagon would be cool enough on its own, given that he swapped in the more modern five-cylinder engine from a 1995 Volvo 850. The week after finishing it, he took his freshly swapped wagon on a 7,000-mile cross-country road trip, where he’s well on his way to legendary status after already…
Ford is killing off almost all of its cars and sedans in North America because modern buyers walk around in a crossover-obsessed haze, but the Fusion may stick around—kind of. Bloomberg reports that the Fusion name, at least, may live on in the form of a Subaru Outback-rivaling sport wagon.
The 2018 Audi RS4 Avant is not the world’s fastest station wagon, but I might have to argue that it should be the gold standard in cars that can haul ass and haul stuff. It fits everywhere, everything fits in it, and it’s ready to rock your world at the drop of a gas pedal.
Robert has a 14-year-old Volkswagen Passat with a lot of miles and not a lot of life left in it. His family refuses to ride in his car that probably should have been sent to the junkyard years ago, so it’s time for a replacement that’s safe but not lame. What car should he buy?
The Regal TourX is a very nice wagon that Buick doesn’t want to call a wagon. But semantics aside, the automaker and its sales staff are pretty much clueless as to how to actually get new customers into these things.
On July 23, 1997, blackjack dealer Mark Blackburn was found dead in an empty Arizona desert from injuries stemming from an apparent explosives accident. Police left his 1980 Datsun B310 at the scene, and now, 21 years later, Mark’s son, Michael, and his daughter, Lalani, are on a quest to find and recover the car.…
Now is a pretty good time to buy a wagon in America, but unfortunately, many of the really cool ones are going to require some serious car payments. But if you’re shopping for a longroof on a tighter budget, you may not know that used Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen and Alltrack models are now getting hit with some sweet,…
Next to paying Kanye to say nice things about you, a Yacht is the ultimate expression of wretched excess. Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Caprice is a land yacht, but for the masses. Will its price however, have you saying some not so nice things about it?
There are good interiors and there are bad interiors, but the best interior is plaid. Volvo in their wagon-wisdom is well aware of this and so, will now offer the upcoming 2019 V60 wagon with an option for plaid seats.
For fans of classy style, speed and hauling things, today’s arrival of the new 2019 Audi A6 Avant is good news. It looks good as one would expect from an Audi wagon. Sadly, we know the A6 Avant won’t make it to America, but Audi’s argument for withholding its long roof goodness is getting weaker.
The 2019 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo is a dream car in more ways than you might think. Of course it’s expensive; something many of us can only fantasize about buying. But it’s also the literal stuff of dreams. Something that shouldn’t exist in real life. Something that feels impossible.
I didn’t think this would ever happen, but we actually have a pretty decent selection of wagons in the U.S. these days. We’ve got wagons from Mercedes-Benz, Buick, Volvo and Jaguar, just to name a few. But samples from Audi’s RS division have been out of reach for us. There could be a light at the end of this dark…
We are in an unexpected golden age of wagons. This year alone, your hardworking Jalopnik staff has tested wagons from Volvo, Buick, Mercedes and Jaguar. Wagons are having a bit of a moment thanks to the crossover boom and how Americans are going nuts over anything with a hatch. But now we find ourselves in what may be…
At first, I was slightly put off that the loaned 2018 Jaguar XF Sportbrake S was silver. It’s a really petty thing to complain about, the color of a press car—but after driving it for a weekend, I realized that the more mundane one of these wagons looks, the the more covert you actually feel about driving it. This is…
It seems many of us aren’t quite out of this winter mess quite yet. So if you are in the market for something fast, luxurious, and Swedish for some late-in-the-year snow hoonage, now is the time to get a great deal on a Volvo S60 sedan or V60 wagon with 300 horsepower and all-wheel-drive.
