This is nothing more than a present to myself. Essentially, the only thing one really needs is a big enough trunk to haul all the toys for the good little boys and girls. 

What, pray-tell, has a large boot and is NOT a utility vehicle? A STATION WAGON!! 

That’s right! Herein lies a list of the top 10 gift hauling wagons according to moi! The only criterion for a longroof to make the cut is that it must have been available for sale in the last 10 years.

Feast your wagon-loving eyes on this list!

2015 Volvo V60 Polestar
Rebel Blue. 345 horsepower, 0-100 in just 4.7 seconds, with a sexy mug I could stare at all day. Must. Have.

2009 Subaru Outback XT
The last of the turbocharged Outbacks… A guaranteed classic and fantastic way to sneak up on just about anyone in their V6 pony cars and fly by them. 

2014 Audi Allroad
Compact rugged good looks and sophisticated road presence make this wagon highly desirable. Oh, and it’s got quattro. 

2016 Volkswagen Golf R wagon
It might come… It will come… It MUST come! Seriously, if the price is right, I may have to do stupid things to get one.

2014 Cadillac CTS-v wagon
If the Merc’s too expensive, this 556-horsepower alternative will leave massive patches everywhere it goes. It’s a Caddy too…

2008 Dodge Magnum SRT8
Looking for an investment? Here it is. 425 horsepower, sprint to 100km/hr in just over 5 seconds and was only sold for three years. Get one now!

2014 BMW 328d xDrive Touring
Big power is big fun, but fuel economy is cool too. With 280 lb-ft of torque and the ability to average under 6L/100km, I might want one of these far too much.

2015 Mercedes-Benz E 63 S-AMG wagon
The ultimate in classy wagon badass-ness: AWD, 577 horsepower and attitude, and nothing says elegance like a Mercedes. 

2009 Saab 9-3 XWD Aero wagon
Just when Saab was getting around to building cars that people might want to buy… Sad. Turbocharged, AWD and so Swedish. 

2005 Lexus IS SportCross
More of a JdM person and looking for another future classis wagon investment? Here it is. Straight-6, RWD and great driving dynamics. Do it.
