I don't even care about the size of the vehicle. What bothers me is the mileage and the scary handling characteristics of these monsters. What happened to all the full sized wagons anyways? I hear that Audi is coming out with an A8 wagon though. That should be sick...but expensive. How about more full sized wagons? Think Caprice Classic. Hehe.

My uncle has an A6 2.7 bit turbo.....it was pushing mid to upper 40's. With the V8 it was over 50k.....uncle wouldn't do that.......eastbaysubaru wrote:I don't even care about the size of the vehicle.

An A8 wagon is probably easily 50k+
WAYYYY too much money for a car....PERIOD!

As I understand the Justy's ECVT was NOT the best CVT ever to turn a wheel... Not that the ECVT would have any chance of putting EJ20 power to the ground... The Justy was a strange Subaru (if that isn't an oxymoron ) It was an inline engine mated to a transverse platform...ciper wrote:Imagine the ecvt justy with the ej20 turbo, drewl.
Is it a 6-speed? I have always loved that car... Audis are my other favorties... A TT 225-hp 6-speed roadster? MMMM Yummy!Legacy777 wrote:My uncle has an A6 2.7 bit turbo

[quote="subyluvr2212"]WHOA COOL! That's freakin' awesome! Oh what I would do if I won the lottery :lol: ! I actually understand there's a kit to shoehorn the EJ20 into the Justy as well, heck, even the Focus 5.0 (remember that beast?) wouldn't have a thing on that...[/quote]
An EJ20-powered Justy would be a beast.
Is the Focus 5.0 the kit that puts a Mustang's complete underpinnings under a Focus' shell?

Nah....he's got an auto.....think the main reason was his wife/my aunt can't drive a manual tranny. That and driving in traffic and such. He considered it though.....but he went with the auto.Is it a 6-speed? I have always loved that car... Audis are my other favorties... A TT 225-hp 6-speed roadster? MMMM Yummy!

Josh, 50K is a lot for a car, but an A8 wagon would be awesome. If you've got the money as a lot of people do (just not me) then it would be a great car to have. It's a big vehicle and has an amazing interior. I'd take it in a second if it didn't cost so damn much. That's why we're getting cars like the Chrysler Pacifica. Bigger wagons to combay the SUV crap.

actually I have not seen that new chrysler wagon.
I'd prob take the A8 if someone happened to "give" it to me....but it wouldn't be my first choice for a 50k car......hell I'd probably just buy two cheaper ones..... ahhahaha

Interesting concept. It looks pretty tall though.

Just to add some more fuel to the fire regarding the SUV crap that we deal with on a daily basis.
