why wagons? 700 1990

Yes they are ugly. Yes there is no really good way to install speakers. Yes your groceries slide around everywhere because there's so much room.

However, I've heard the coefficients of drag are the same (or marginally better) for wagons. They are great if you don't want your dog drooling on your neck on a long car ride. You can fit your summer wheels & snows in the back without getting caked mud on the seats.

If you like the look of Civic drivers when you beat them off the light, you'd love their expressions when they get beat by a wagon.

Deep down, I think we all know that it's a bit weird to add Bilstiens, bigger sway bars, and bump up the boost on these glorified swedish tractors. It's even weirder when the car in question is a wagon...and there's something noble in that.
