Wonder why they don't have a picture of the entire side view... either way thats pretty cool.

Heh, took me about 3 seconds to go "That's a Taurus wagon clamshell" and then I read the description.... damn I'm good.

that had to be expensive to build

I like it

it's hideous. none of the lines work

It works better than the juke and the aztec.

Yep, hideous.

I'd rather have a Juke or Aztec. That's hideous.

How much blow do you need to be doing to think that's a good idea?

Obviously an "afterthought" execution but is anyone here saying that a P71 Wagon is a bad idea in theory?

Make mine a manual and ill see you at the campground!

Yup, I agree

I'll go for that. A minivan will tow the same, carry more people and get better mileage. They'll also hold a 4x8 of plywood.

Telegraph vs iPhone.

Swiss Army knife vs. Machette is a more apt comparison IMO.

Something about a RWD V8 wagon with lots of possibilities for customization...

I'd rather drive/wrench/mod/own a P71 wagon than a minivan but I'm sure I'm in the minority.

(We've owned a minivan for the last 8 years btw)

Interesting. Don't know if I like it...

I was thinking about how nice it would be if they made a Crown Vic wagon, but talking to my fiancee yesterday, we both decided it would be hideous. And it is.

Check the panel gap on that hatch.

I'd rather have a big wagon over a minivan/cuv but have no need for either.

That thing is wretched. I don't blame the Crown Vic, I blame the builder.

Our Crown Vic had a towing capacity of 5000#. Our Honda Oddity had one of 3500#. Crown Vic could hold 6 people; the Oddity 7. Highway mileage on the Vic was 24-25, Oddity 23-26 (wind had a bigger impact). Dunno about the plywood, but the B-Body wagons could hold one.

Now that being said, for a family hauler I'd likely go for the minivan for other reasons.

plus, better burnouts.

Better Burnouts. You simply cannot put a value on this. Truly a priceless quality.

A good friend of ours retired from the place that built that car, he has some cool stories about running around the world selling cars and stuff.
