Just looked at the Audi USA web site and they aren't listing an S4! What's with that??

I have so say that the WRX wagon is the best looking wagon out there period in my opinion
And I'm annoyed theat here in oz we don't get STi wagons or B4 wagons (these are fantastic)
another wagon to die for is the Nissan one (can't remember the name but is stupidly expensive and is pretty much a GTR skyline Wagon

That covers car we and you can't get

I agree that the Audi is probably the closest contender but at that price you could get 2 WRX wagons or a WRX wagon and a sedan

Bang for buck the rexy flat out anihilates all competition

From what I understand, there will be no more STi wagon for 2003. No big deal. If we can't get it, then nobody else should either!!!!

j/k. Seriously, I would have liked a 2003 STi wagon to be made just so I could buy the seats and carpet. That would be cool enough to sell my leathers.

By the way, why can't we get flares at least like the RS6? I'm still hoping that somebody will make a replica of the SYMS cf flares. They remind me of the RS4/6 cars. A good thing for whoever makes this (hopefully) is that it will fit the bug and blob eyed imprezas.

You mean this.

I've have tried to suggest this type kit many times. Maybe Kaminari will deliver. RS4/6 type flares would be awesome on the wagon body.

Yucky flairs. Like them Nissan trucks, bleck.

I agree - what is sooooo nice about the flares on the RS6 is that they are part of the fender - tough looking, not sceaming namby pamby stick on plastic (should that have been in the BOV forum!!??)

I have seen some really nice rolled fenders on WRX wagons.

I understand. I'm only a couple years out of academia (and may be going back to being Prof. Moore if I can't find a new job! Anybody know where an ATM and IP engineer can find a job?) so I'm my own worst critic when it comes to logical arguments. So when you mentioned the RS6 Avant, I was thinking that was a potential hole in my argument.

But I just found out that the RS6 is not available w/ manual tranny. That should've been one of my criteria. I couldn't stand to have to drive an Auto on a permanent basis. So there goes that hole!

If the flares (not flairs) on the above wagon were painted body color, you wouldn't notice them too much. Being cf though, nobody would paint them as it wouldn't show how much money they spent on the kit.

Plastic would be best. Anybody with photoshop abilities to turn that CF into WRB? The shape of the flare on these does not stick out at a sharp angle like the Nissan Truck ones; I still hold that the shape is very similar to the RS4/6 that we approve of. Reshaping the actual fenders would cost to much money, so I'm fine with bolt on.

Agreed. Those style flares, painted to match, would look very muscular on the wagon body. Hopefully, Kaminari will incorperate a similar style on their wagon kit that's in development.

I LOVE MY WAGON!!!!!

I am so glad I chose a WRX wagon as my winter/daily driver car. Its so much fun to drive and has so much room. I have the seats down all the time. My dog LOVES sliding back and forth back there when I drive crazy. Well, I think she does

. If I have to sell my 02' SS for whatever reason, I'll be still happy with my wagon. I just turned a 13.70 with it a little bit ago. God willing, I'll be in the mid 13s this winter and low 13s next year
