I still like the looks of the Buick Regal Tour X

Really should test drive one someday

Yeah I'm kind of intrigued as well atleast by the v6 version. Sat in one at the NY auto show- seemed pretty nice. I think ZBB got the hatch version as a rental car at some point during his whole Model 3 repair saga.

Wow. It's even longer than the E450 wagon.

I’m in Portugal this week...

Keep seeing all the cars we can’t get. It’s crazy. I’d say well under 10% have a trunk. Doesn’t matter if most were tiny. Nearly all 3 series I saw were wagons. Same goes for mb C class and A4s...

(And don’t ask me about my rental car. Let’s just say it was only kinda European...)

I do think the f10 is a bit too large, but it looks better than its successor.

The f30 doesn't look that great up front with its squish-face, but it's just the right size; almost the same width as an e39, a few inches shorter (and the trunk pays for that more than the back seat).

Yeah, the F30/80 is a pretty nice size. I don't think I'd want a bigger external envelope, but it's pretty roomy inside. There's a particular view of the A pillar on the passenger side from the driver's seat that feels old-school BMW in its uprightness, too, but maybe that's just compared to the Tesla.
