If I had to drive a gasser, and wasn't hip to MBs, I'd be driving either an Audi A4 wagon or a Volvo 740 wagon.
Will seCOnd the 740 reCommendation. Have had a '92 740 turbo wagon for three years- is tough and reliable as an anvil, through teCHnologiCAlly advanCed as an anvil as well. Mine i deemed the MulCHwagon- at 215k miles also the designated baCkup for wHen my MB is wonky. On an only tangentially related note, would NOT reCOmmend a Toshiba laptop- as of this morning we're having our third keyboard problem and the 1 year warranty ended YEsterday. Freaking great.
