BMW fuses wagon utility with unadulterated performance in its 2008 BMW M5 Touring to create a grocery-getter that can accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 4.8 seconds — fast enough to splatter untethered bags of eggs and cereal against the rear window.

These wagons usually prove to be better performers than their sedan counterparts because of better weight distribution. Should be a fun car to pick up the kids in!

Such as the RS6 Avant!

Or E63 wagon! They're all neat cars for a different kind of person.

I thought that it was only destined for Europe. That would be freakin awesome if they bring stateside though. I'm all for the super wagons. Bring the heat.

I'd rather have an S6 Avant, but there's no denying that this is one of the ultimate "family cars."

Looks like something a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman would drive.

Except he would be making three times your salary and would drive a car that could blast anything under a Z06 from a light?
