It's ok...
I'm not much of an SUV guy, and when I sold my stage 2 allroad I looked for a replacement . It's bigger on the outside, but smaller on the inside than the audi was. It isn't as quick. Fit and finish isn't as good as the C5 audis, lots of rattles and squeeks.
If I was to do it again, I would have bought an older Touareg (with the V-10 diesel) or gone to a Q7 or a 535 wagon. I wish automakers would re-introduce sport wagons here in the states. There's a great market here for people that need the space, but don't like the SUV

Wagons are available. The new E63 wagon looks pretty cool. Twin turbo, 518hp/516tq.

Might replace our E55 wagon with one in a few years (although I'll miss the instant gratification of a supercharger).

Wow, that ZO6 looks amazing (as do the others). What make and model rims are those and what are the sizes? Well done!

What's in the garage you ask?
1967 Pontiac GTO
2003 Ford E250 Econoline Van for motorcycle hauler - no photo
2006 BMW M Roadster Blk / Blk 6 spd (sold) - no photo
2007 BMW M Roadster Interlagos Blue / Blk 6 spd (sold)
2008 Audi RS 4 6spd Phantom Blk (recently sold)
2008 Acura MDX AWD - no photo
2009 Subaru WRX STi w/mods: turbo, intercooler, tune and more
2011 BMW M3 w/DCT
My dd would be the M3 if I didn't live in an area where it snows. Stock tires don't hook up on snow so I drive a ho-hum Acura most days in the winter. The Audi RS 4 was a beast in all terrain but I traded it just under two weeks ago for the M3 which I've always wanted. The M3 is a hard top Cabriolet with all the features available in the US bar one - the electronically adjustable suspension (3 settings). The M3 is by far the best 2wd car I've ever owned and the Acura MDX is by far the best AWD SUV I've ever owned.
Guys out there with the Porsche 911 Turbo S, double thumbs up! It's one of my favorite cars and maybe someday I'll add it to my collection.
The 67 GTO and Subie are my hubbie's. Oh yeah, we have a Ford E250 Econoline Van too - for the motorcycle collection.
I love the variety we have here in this thread. Thanks OP for starting this one!

Plan to do a full photshoot with my friend Chris for the Aston and then do a proper write-up on the car, flying to FL and picking her up...the journey back etc... but wanted more pics first
Oh on a side note I am thinking of selling the SL55 AMG, I love the car it's flawless inside and out and runs perfect also, plus I have a full extented full CSC warranty on it until April 2014. She is a nicely modded one-off complete build by a very well respected fabricator and builder in Arizona. The car is an absolute Rocket! If you or anyone you know is interested please email me at sunirghosal@hotmail.com and I will also put an ad up in the classifieds shortly. Since buying the Aston figured no need for two big front engine GT cars...plus free up some space in the garage.
