Super Wagon

Saturday, May 16th, 2009

We’ve been having quite the family discussion lately about the value of a wagon, meaning a station wagon vehicle. I personally think they’re fantastic but I do have to add a small caveat: some wagons truly are hideous and there’s no defense for them, but there are quite a few that I think are some of the best looking cars around, like this one below.

A4 Avant
I’m fine with Molly not truly appreciating the wagon, she grew up in Arizona and thought that the word Granola referred strictly to a type of food and not a lifestyle.  However, I had to draw the line when the following statement left her mouth….

“I’d rather drive a mini-van than a nice wagon”

That’s when I knew things had gotten completely out of hand.  I mean, a minivan?  Really?  Over that fine automobile pictured above?  Who’s more right, Molly or me?  There’s no right answer here but I think she’s taken the hate to an extreme level that I don’t feel comfortable with when she brought the mini-van into it.

  1. Oooo, I love wagons! Especially that one. Gina and I really wanted a wagon when we got our car but we thought they were too much more than a sedan to justify it. Now we really wish we had one. I’d have to say, Audi/VW make some of the best looking ones around!

  2. Seriously? A mini-van over a wagon? You have probably picked one of the most expensive wagons too. Lan, you can probably blame it on all the extra hormones, right? Tell Molly we love her.
