When I told my old man about my wagon I expected him to give me crap, has always been a 'mericun or nothing kind of guy. Turns out his two older brothers had were into old volvo wagons. One had a couple of PVs like the one on the left, and the other an Amazon like the one on the right. Here I am getting imprinted as a wee lad in G'ma's arms in front of my late uncles wagon.
Drove whatever the British brand version of that was. 2.0L turblo diesel. Nice ride. That fat guy looks like he wants to eat it, must be an American tourist.When I was in Brisbane, I got to see one of these in action and fell in love. No longer made, never imported.
I think the Holden lines look way better than the American bastardized Pontiacs, the GTO and G8 were just plain ugly.
The SS Commodore is an LS powered NA monster (same all aluminum plant as the Corvette), but a turbo D would be a cool option. Folks have been known to wedge a turbo or 2 on the V8's as well.
It's always good to know you come by insanity honestly...

I saw a UTE that was pushing over 1200hp, in a UTE.
Aussie's are insane. I also got to see an R34 Skyline that was not too far from stock pulling sub 11 second 1/4 miles. Damn I want a left hand drive version.
What'd ya think, I stole it?
G8 was styled decent. SS is meh...When I was in Brisbane, I got to see one of these in action and fell in love. No longer made, never imported.

Mmike picks up Hot Chicks in his ex wife's Jeep. He takes them for pizza which is very good.... You should have consulted with him.
Welcome to the club! Lets be honest, that is pretty much a wagon with bigger wheel fender gaps.
it's called a vanagon....you just put a subaru engine in it.

I like it actually. I guess I don't see too many around these parts.
sheeeeet ... talk about #1stworldproblems!
Doesn't manual imply FWD only? Plus, you're forgetting the Juke (debatable) and Forester 2.5i (not debatable).
I have the base-model manual version, caus' that's the only trim the manual came in. It was also the only "SUV" to come with a manual transmission that wasn't made in Korea.
My Brother before he went to Jail had one of those.
so far so good, but it's only been a day so i still need to play around with settings. one thing i tried was to get my pandora to connect thru the phone and it tells me that it isn't installed on my phone. any ideas on that?Welcome to the club!

yes. I've never been in a situation I couldn't handle in a FWD manual vehicle. I'm not a big believer in AWD or 4WD. Subaru's were out because of gas consumption. And I couldn't bear the ridicule of owning a Juke. (besides, I'm not sure they were out back then, and they may have been too small for my wants/needs)
