As always, sorry if this is repetitive of previous posts.

I will be buying a 96 or 97 850 (with either the low pressure or high pressure turbo) in the near future. I've always thought about buying the sedan, because I never thought I needed the extra space of a wagon. I don't have a dog, I don't typically haul around a lot of stuff that I can't fit into a sedan, and I would think that the sedan would get considerably better gas mileage and be easier to park. That said, I've come across a couple of very nice looking 97 GLT wagons lately. I actually think the grill looks better on the wagons than it does on the sedans, and I like way the back looks, too. Seeing these wagons has made me at least consider whether I should think about getting a wagon.

Anybody have any comparisons about performance, mileage, styling, etc. between the sedans and wagons? Has anybody else been a "sedan person," and been happy with the purchase of an 850 wagon?

Thanks.
