Yesterday’s eBay Trolling Discovery was a gorgeous Lancia that nobody except a trillionaire should buy. On the other hand, this 1974 Mazda RX-4 rotary wagon clocks in at a very sensible $6000 asking price, with the possibility of getting the seller to come down a little. The important part is the claim that its Wankel [...]
Ask a certain segment of “car guys” about their favorite Mercedes-Benz and publicly you’ll hear, “6.3,” “6.9,” or “600 Pullman.” You might every now and then get one of them to say, “AMG Hammer.” Point is, all most of the above are the usual answer — something you’d say out loud in a large group. Establishes credibility, makes [...]
Our pal Yorgo (creative director/editor of Intersection Magazine) spotted this intimidating Volvo V70 in France recently. The matte black stock 5-spokes are a nice subtle touch. We think the custom windowless 2 door configuration is not so subtle but a great look. Fiends approve. Of course if we built it, it would have a [...]
We prayed it was only a matter of time before Cadillac officially came out and said they were thinking about a CTS-V wagon. The instant Fiends everywhere heard that a wagon version of the CTS was on its way, “Will there be a V?” came with the next breath. Even if the General deemed their [...]
We’ve found our perfect company car. Built by Divers Street Rods, winner of the 2008 Riddler Award, it’s a 1960 Nash Rambler blended with all the perfect bits of a Ferrari 360. The Divers crew have branded it the Ferrambo—yes, even the name is perfect. Behind the front seats you’ll find an Italian V8 coupled [...]
Sadly, there isn’t a whole lot of info on these totally rare Pronto wagons. Here’s the big deal: Not many Giulias were wagons to begin with. And most of those (called “Giulia Colli”) had glass between the C and D pillars. Not the semi-panelled Pronto — it was intended for Police work and race support. [...]
Ah. More wagon glory. Audi’s RS6 has shown its tuning potential thanks to B&B and MTM’s variants on the company’s flying family hauler, and Kicherer has joined the elite crowd as of late. The German tuner has upped the stakes thanks to a flashier two-tone paint scheme and mega-huge rollers. Just like the B&B and [...]
About time, GM. For reals, why let Audi — and to a lesser extent BMW and Mercedes — have all the entry level luxury wagon fun? Plus, unlike the Germans, the CTS is gorgeous! Like, seriously friggin’ hot. And check this out — you can have your very own Caddy Sport Wagon with a stick. [...]
We’ve got a thing for sweet wagons here at Autofiends. Be it the bad-ass twin-turbo diesel Audi A4 Avant or the peppy VW Jetta Sportwagen, wagons rock both mini-vans and SUVs. With that in mind, we’ve got to say Opel’s Insignia Sports Tourer looks pretty sweet. The car should be officially unveiled at the Paris [...]
Just like the new 7-Series, master amateur spy photographer Levy, caught a lightly camo’d version of the refreshed BMW 3-Series creeping around the Mojave. An image of a non-duct taped 2009 3-Series showed up on the web yesterday along with news that the 3-Series Wagon will be becoming the 335i Wagon. Meaning the diminutive people [...]
