Wagon

BMW is finally offering a wagon M3...in Europe and we can keep dreaming about that beautiful alternative to the macan turbo. The pricing woudl be on par with the Macan Turbo for US buyers. Considering how popular the Macan is in the USA, it is a great thing for Porsche that BMW decided to skip that one. The M3 touring is all over the internet since its introduction and has already reached cult status. With the CS trim the M3 become more track ready and ridiculously pointless than before and that is what we love about it. Now let’s see if BMW brings it to the US soon. I don’t see a future where BMW decides NOT to bring it in the US, so if you are on the fence for a Macan Turbo you may want to wait until summer for the happy news... In the meantime enjoy the M3 touring gallery, it is a thing of beauty.

Given how crossovers and SUVs are all the rage these days, it is no surprise that only a handful of wagons on sale in 2024. This is strange because most wagons are more practical than sedans and pack better driving dynamics than SUVs. In the EV world, Porsche’s Taycan Cross Turismo is a great alternative to some of the gas-powered or hybrid wagons like the Audi RS6 Avant and the newly debuted BMW M5 Touring.

We live in a world of A.I. and gone are the days where you need to be a design guru to come up with something truly unique. However, depending on the LLM (Large Language Model) and your ability to write the right prompts, you can come up with something either truly spectacular or absolutely bizarre and hilarious. I’ll admit that I haven’t been at the game long enough myself, but I’ve taken A.I. assistance to dream up everything from a compact all-electric 911 and it was just about acceptable at best. At the other end of the spectrum, you have folks who have gone about coming up with a GT3-inspired pram. More recently, I stumbled upon a Type-996 wagon that I found on Instagram, which I feel is not too bad. So let’s talk about it.

More than just a wagon, the Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo has a gorgeous design. But the beauty wasn’t just skin deep. This powerhouse packed a punch close to 700 horsepower, rivaling the thrill of a 911 while offering the everyday functionality of a Cayenne. With seven trims to choose from, the GTS hit the sweet spot in the middle, delivering both stunning looks and exhilarating performance. Unfortunately, Porsche has discontinued the Sport Turismo for the latest generation of the Panamera.

The Taycan Turbo Cross Turismo is an all-electric, high-performance five-seater wagon that combines the practicality of a family hauler with the exhilarating performance expected from a Porsche. In the Taycan Cross Turismo lineup, this Turbo model sits one below the flagship Turbo S trim.
