But as the old model I bet it would be quite rare.. way more common the saloon one.. the opposite than for RS6

LOL, superfast wagons are awesome. So unsuspecting. :twisted:

MB USA never imported the previous generation E55 Wagon, and I doubt they will now. I wonder if I could grey market one into the US. Anyone know?

[adlinyusman]

just ask your local dealer to source it for you. that's how my friend did his.

[normy360]

I'll try that route, Adlin. The US has draconian regulations though. Will let you guys know how it turns out.

There is even a CAR Magazine comparative between it and the RS6 so they made it in Europe but for the US, i guess it wouldn't be easy as US regulations are quite stricts. But, the engine is already homologated, the body too and body kit too i suppose so maybe it would be easier :?:
