I didn't think that the new M3 would be so popular with the V8, the purists that wanted to keep the straight six have probably jumped on the bandwagon! The Germans had better watch out though, I think there's a new HSV sportwagon coming out and with the Audi, Merc and BMW wagons costing around the $250,000 mark, I don't think there is much of a market for them here unfortunately. It would be great to see a few of them on the roads though. It’s great to hear that the M-Division is going so well.

But an RS6, E63 or M5 wagon are designed for Euro climates, where continent crushing in comfort with a large dose of practicality are vital attributes. Of course, they are all German, home of the autobahn. They don't make as much sense in our completely sterilised road systems, but their Q-car potential is staggering! The GTS at the lights won't know what hit them! Personally, the idea of 500 plus horsepower (373kw doesn’t sound as impressive) in a wagon is just bonkers!
