re: Mercedes station wagon. About the time that Mercedes introduced its station wagon, I remember seeing a comic hit on this topic. It went something like this: A man walks into an auto dealer. "I need something to haul my junk around in. What do you have for, say, sixty or seventy grand?" -Robert

We test drove the current E320 sedan. Wonderful car. The rear seat is genuinely comfy for me, and that is a big achievement. I sat in the E-class station wagon at the show. I was in a state of pure undiluted material lust. The $60K sticker was a big fat dreambreaker however. That's almost two Burbs!! No need to duck. If it were half the price, the E-class wagon would be a classy compromise. But the rear bench - can it be rigged to take a pair of baby seats? Taht would be a requirement to achieve the capacity cutoff. Didn't mean to imply you were Vietnamese sized. Oh my. Didn't mean to imply you were my size either. My turn to duck...
