Wagon Stoke

The good news is availability of plug-in hybrid four cylinder (at least for sedans) and mild-hybrid inline six powerplants.

I love the E class wagons, and like the idea of this, but I’m getting too much Regal X from those promo shots. Bummer

It actually has. I use the spare tire well for beer storage and I think there is a Jerry Reuss baseball card down there. I remember being blown away by how old the guy looked for his age so I carried it around for awhile until it found a home with the trunk beer.

A spry 37 in this photo, if not younger, depending upon when it was taken.

Just to bring this back home, Jerry looks like a longroof man to me.

Sucks Mercedes caving in but ok because I never buy new. Both rear shocks are leaking pretty bad on my W211 and it's "flat" on both sides every morning now. So it needs: Control arm bushings and tie rods, two new rear air shocks, windshield, and probably a few more things. I'm guessing $3-5k for a full refresh. A slippery slope on this one..

Out. Standing.

I bet Jerry moved on at a ripe old 47.

**Art Shirk** · 03-04-2020, 09:34 PM

Just looked him up. Hasn’t aged a day in 34 years.

Hell, I'd buy a wagon from him.

If his money manager never pitched him the post career Reuss’ Rolls Royce car dealership idea, he needs to find a new money guy.

He has the look of a dude who could move some product.

That actually looks really good

**gravitylover** · 03-07-2020, 07:48 AM

I wonder how it looks in less aggressive trim.

**BmillsSkier** · 03-07-2020, 09:14 AM

I think it’s only contemplated in rip your face off trim.

**gravitylover** · 03-07-2020, 09:52 AM

I just saw a cool photoshop. I'd be headed to a Volvo dealer if this was real.

I think they actually did that concept for real, or very similar.

Yeah, that’s no photoshop that’s the Volvo Estate Concept. From their own website

I cannot believe I missed this the first time! FKNA a 19 S is such an incredible vehicle selling for not much more than some piece of shit econobox.

Congrats! You'll love/hate it! Actually I still am in love with my 18 S, coming up on 30k. But since it is a VW I am being realistic. LOL.

**Gcooker** · 03-08-2020, 07:48 AM

I liked my 2018 AllTrack... until the parking lot at the airport flooded and it was written off. They are not water tight.... water came within 2” from the top of the tire. Inside and out.

Such a nice looking car with plenty of room for a twin turbo 6 under the bonnet and they ruined it with a 4 banger

I am not spending $60k on a 4 banger

Meh 4, 5, 6... I bet it's fun and nice to drive.

Looks like there's an XC version too. https://www.volvocars.com/intl/cars/...ncept-xc-coupe
