LOL. I once drove a 240-series wagon (estate) for a time. Auto tx,
and orange. The Swedish Pumpkin, I called it. Good car for a
high-school aged male.
BTW, if your daughter's date is driving a station wagon, don't let her
go...
E.P.
P.S. That car was slow, and handled like a tank. It was also very
thirsty for its size. brick, more like.

We just bought a Lexus for the SWMBO, so it'll be a couple of years
before we get the Q7. Haven't seen pictures of it yet.

Tell her to go look at a VW Touareg. Not really and SUV, but something
auto pundits call a PUV. (Performance Utility Vehicle. One could also
call it a PEV. Enhancement Vehicle.)
