Other honorable car of mentioning would Nissan Stagea, Subaru Legacy Outback H6 and others. If you mention more enough for a second part, I might do it. Thank you for watching! Saab's cool! EDIT: Ignore the misleading ridiculous torque figures in some cases - it's a typo, and not a big deal IMO. Sorry about that!
As an Australian and a HSV owner I'm glad you added the HSV wagons to this list, they are so much fun to drive while still remaining functional fit daily driving.
Keep talking. I love it. And you forgot the Volvo 740 turbo.. Aka the drift wagon. For real I think it's the most drifted wagon in the world because you can weld the diff so easily
Hesayad I literally knew all of them.. And the wagons on the list are all somewhat well known. At least when you wanted to buy a wagon once in your life
Hey VisioRacer have been watching for quite a while and at first I was skeptical about the narration change but I can see that your English is improving nicely. I'm glad you enjoy doing narration and I enjoy watching your videos, whether you talk or not.
Great list wasn't expecting the Avenir to be on there since it's rare ! I actually used the SR20DET from a GT4 W11 in my Nissan Presea R11 and it's a great engine , has a ball bearing turbo as standard whilst most other sr20's have journal bearing . The transmission took a lot of power from the engine it's like lightning when mated to a 5 speed
I'm glad to see the Holden R8 make the list! Here in the states we had the Cadillac CTS V wagon. Total beast with the detuned Corvette LS9 motor (LSA) mated to a 6 speed manual or auto. Even the option for Recaro Seats from factory. 556hp supercharged wagon 😍
Just to mention it, the Passat B7 hat the 3,6l VR6 also but only until late 2014. Without having the R36 Logo anymore it's even more understatement (AND i drive one :D )
Just recently had Vizio racer added to my RU-vid algorithm. I miss my Hsv Avalanche. 5.7 LS1. All wheel drive. Black leather interior. Black panther mica paint. What a wagon. Even only with a full exhaust. Camshaft and intake upgrades. Made over 300kw at all 4 wheels.
You forgot the fastest Brazilian national wagon ever: Fiat Marea Turbo. Was sold in Brazil between 1999 and 2007 with the greatest 5-inline engine sound ever. Was a 2.0L 20v turbo with 182 hp.
I bought the wife a Mazda CX-7 for Valentine's Day... I was against it, but we seen it and I couldn't talk her out of one. A month later I surprised her with a brand new one. The turbo charged 2.3, with a "slap shift" and sports car like handling, made it hard for me not to fall in love with it myself... Zoom Zoom!!
I do like wagons/estates. Especially: Volvo P1800E, Reliant Scimitar GTE, anything from 1957-1960 in America (59 Chevy and Cadillac especially), Custom Shooting Breaks (Aston Martin, Ferrari etc) Cadillac CTSV, Callaway Corvette AeroWagon, M series BMWs, AMG Mercedes.... basically anything estate
I like the Toyota Altezza Gita, the Nissan Avenir GT4, the Mitsubishi Evo 9 Wagon CT9W, the Toyota Caldina GT-T, the Honda Civic Aerodeck VTI, and the M5 Touring E34
No mention of Volvo V wagons, a lot of which, the ones with a T in front of a number, T5, T6, were turboed, made decent horse power, and were no slow? I myself have a V50 T5, which has the 2.5 litre 5 cylinder Turbo motor in it. 217 hp, 0 t0 60 in the low to mid 7's, 150mph top end, and it looks fairly sedate. I LOVE it.
The Saab and Opel are nearly the same car with the Epsilon base and the same B284 engine. Arguably the best V6 to ever be produced. They can be real monsters in the right hands
Why did you omit the Dodge Magnum? That wagon was only available for a few years, but it came from the factory already lowered, with a posi rearend, a Hemi motor, and it was a screamer....
What about the Volvo 850 T-5R? That one was skipped somehow. Mercedes AMG models were also missing. Audi Avant RS2 could also be featured. Cadillac CTS, Chrysler 300C Touring... Just to name a few
About Holden in Europe: there wer some rebadged units sold in UK as Vauxhall VXR8 (saloon, not a wagon) and a Maloo (pickup, the coolest one) but they are all RHD cars. The only option to get an LHD Holden in Europe was to get one of 10 overprized in Germany rebadged and rebiuild Holden Stateman ➡ Bitter Vero 😉
wow didn't know about the Nissan Awenir W11 I only knew the Nissan Stagea is a R33 in a station wagon form. The Subaru Legacy GT are pretty much WRXs as they share the same platform and engine and switch out the 5 speed manual gearbox for the 4/5 speed auto box. Saab made some cool cars but the management can be stubborn which in the end killed the whole company.
I`ve got a 2006 Accord Tourer type S in black and I think it looks cool. I wanted a 98 volvo V70 but didnt want to bet on reliability. Wagons are nice.
e34 M5 is a masterpiece, and there's an even rarer version of it, the e34 M5 Elekta, built only for made for Italy, if i'm not wrong, only 20 of them were made, all Tourings. I do own an e34 525i Touring ( as you said, Tourings were all of them the rev.2, so it was with the e36's engines. ), manual gearbox, and it's already really pleasant.
Cool stuff, wagons have that railroad machinery styling line when they are going flat out on the highway. Literally like if a train was passing you. What I missed here was MItsubishi Galant VR-4, how to not like biturbo 3.0 L V6 AWD with lagacy of Evo hidden underneath. Also, Subaru Impreza GDB Wagon STI - that's a rare thing. If I'm not mistaken it even had FIA homologation (in Spec-C) for rally. As for the Saab, there was also the 9-2 X basically called "Saabaru" as it was a rebadged Impreza Wagon. You also once showed BMW E46 M3 Tourer, you can't go rarer than that. Since we're in Bavaria now, BMW E28 Tourer, even less known than the Evo Wagon I think.
