conceptually and technically amazing...unfortunatley asthetically displeasing, that thing is just too damn big, reminds me of the old Audi 5000 stations wagons from back in the days...just out of place looking...but if you must get to the grocery store while being able to run a 12 sec 1/4 mile, well then this is it

i once thought about getting an E wagon. the more i look at it, the less appealing it is.

7 passenger seating with 3rd row easy access through the hatch is the best feature of these wagons. and great gas mileage compare to SUV too. I wish Audi makes these wagons with 7 seats. For some reason, Audi just looks better than MB wagons.

On a mustang dyno... the car put down 480 wheel hp and 540 wheel torque... assuming it's a 15% drive train loss... crank horsepower translates to: 564 hp and 635 ft lbs

I don't recall which magazine test it was, but it was interesting that the wagon posted slightly faster 0-60 times than the sedan. They thought it was due to more weight over the rear wheels creating better traction.

I think that wagon is really cool. If I had some extra bucks laying around, I'd pick one up just to have a wagon that'll smoke just about anything on the road.
