It’s basically a Corolla wagon.

V8 wagons FTW. Bonus W123 300TD in the back ground (R.I.P).

Close enough? That’s a lot like the CT200h. It’s far closer to a hatch than a wagon, but I’ll give you a pass because it’s Wagon Wednesday.

That’s a hatchback! But hatchbacks are just small wagons. So it’s cool.

Here’s the white wagon on my mountain trip last weekend. Second one is a potato pic, so sorry about that.

Just detailed mine!

Hatch/wagon, I'm not being too picky. Hopefully you won't be either.

I love the steelies. I want Police Interceptor Wheels for the SHO so badly.

Check Summit Racing. They had my wheels for $100 a piece. Not that bad, all things considered, but getting the center caps is a totally different story.

Technically it was mine until 5 minutes after this when I dropped the keys off at the hire agency.

It has a window for the cargo area and the roof is at a little past 50% of the cargo area.

And yes, I think it’s a hatchback because Toyota/GM call them a hatchback (because wagons weren’t cool.)

Where are the chrome caps? Also I didn’t take any pictures of mine, can you point me to a forum or community that shares pics of C&C?

JGrabowMSt > ESSSIX GmbH - Accountant/Wagon Thumper 10/21/2015 at 11:30

Chrome caps are $40 each + $120 lug nut set. We’ll say I haven’t quite gotten there yet. I’m looking for a used set somewhere for significantly cheaper.

You could start by looking on www.caffeineandcarburetors.com they have an album set that gets updated every event. I only took a few pictures that I haven’t uploaded yet. I’m very behind on my own photos currently.

These steelies look soo good on all kinds of dodges. I wonder if they fit a 300. (A slightly de-chromed 300 maybe)

JGrabowMSt > Alphilsta 10/21/2015 at 11:43

The answer you’re looking for is yes, yes they will fit. The LX cars share a lot of parts (most of their parts, to be honest), and the bolt pattern is 5x4.5 (or 5x114.3 if you swing that way). The steelies would bolt right on as a direct swap. Correct offset and everything out of the box. The wheels are only officially listed as compatible with 07+ cars, but the bolt pattern and offset never changed until they moved up to a larger wheel size, but unless you’re running a super large brake kit, these should fit right over the stock sized brakes.

If you stuffed a set of these onto a 300, it would have to be bagged or dropped significantly. Stock ride height is a little on the high side, which was one major motivation for me to lower the HEMIWagon on coilovers (along with the fact that it’s being slowly prepped for a beefier motor and track day use).

Finding this color in a TDI manual was such a pain.

I don’t own a wagon. But I wouldn’t mind one. ok. I want an e30 touring very badly.

High Point State Park, Nov 15. Will be confirming things very soon. Do I have your email?

That’s not a wagon, as newly defined during the Wagon Train Oppo Meetup.

I reject your rules and substitute my own.

Do you wish you had the sunroof option? Just curious because I love being able to open the roof.

I also feel compelled to remind the world that this is the best Cadillac front end, with the latest ATS front end being a very close second.

Why there’s no ATS-V Wagon is beyond me...

JGrabowMSt > sm70- why not Duesenberg? 10/21/2015 at 22:03

The side view mirror on that thing is probably near, if not level with my roofline. That’s not okay, and definitely not a wagon.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > JGrabowMSt 10/21/2015 at 22:14

Yes, but the side mirrors fold in, so your argument is invalid.

Get back in your L and go do donuts in the mud.

I sort of count my Blazer as a wagon....like a truck/wagon. On the registration it says 5DSW haha

Thanks for the kind words. I like it without the roof. Makes it that much more of a unicorn!
