In my book, SUVs are all station wagons. The newer generations didn't like the old folk stigma of station wagons, so we put big tires on them, renamed them to SUV. Still a station wagon.

Never thought I would see a Ferrari station wagon.

Actually there have been nearly a dozen real Ferrari Station Wagons, (Shooting Brakes) plus who knows how many more in designs and mock-ups. Read this:

Personally, I've always loved station wagons and have owned a handful. My first one was a white 1962 ford falcon wagon. I later owned a blue 1966 Falcon wagon. I also had a 1977 Honda Civic Wagon.

In fact my current DD (2024 Cadillac LYRIQ) really is more a "fat" wagon than an SUV.

What I really wanted was a Cadillac CTS-V Wagon with a manual transmission but they still sell for more than when they were new.

with about only 500 built with MT, they will always be hard to find, and command big $$$.

A long story short, my neighbour's brother (when we lived in Gloucestershire) ran a car dealership back in the day and he was telling me he had this..

Not a one of those was built buy Ferrari. They were Ferraris molested by others.

Some of you know, my wife and I in Calgary. Rented a truck for the few days to get about as posted in the "Random thoughts" thread..

Came across this, must be the equivalent to Porsche's PTS option...

Well, it is a TRD.

There was a similar color in 911s back in the day. It was known in the Porsche circles as "baby sh*t brown".

Excuse me, but a V8 IS a sensible sized motor.

First photo was taken back in July. Car had been left for over a year, reason unknown.
Second photo taken recently shows car after it was purchased, auctioned off and the new owner spent some time cleaning it up.
