Buick Regal 2018

is there anything I'm missing? as per usual, power to weight ratio is probably more important than fuel efficiency.
Here's a 2016 E Class in ATL with AMG Pkg: http://www.gearsmotorsports.com/16MBE350W1017155.html#

I don't know about the Panamera wagons, but the hatchback ones are only 2 across in the back seat. I'd think that's a non-starter for most wagon shopping families.

I hate to suggest, but the 3 GT or 4 Gran Coupe?

Aside from no manual in USA, I did not hate the lowered/rims 4 Gran Coupe I saw waiting for the bus a week or so ago... I might even consider one if prices fall even more off a cliff for a "new" BMW.

The new golf wagon is pretty nice. A friend just got one.

Buick gave us a Regal for an extended test drive (24 hours) 2 years ago. I really liked the way the car drove (it was fully loaded, awd) but the wife liked the awd Fusion better, and it was to be her car.

Looking forward to seeing the Regal wagon in person.

Well, that's a bummer. Not that we could ever afford one anyway. We'll just wait for the 3 series wagon to get that big.

I am pretty sure the wagon offers a 3 across option. Go buy one

Edit: looks like standard on wagon but must be pretty bad since + 1
