Looking good. Have you been able to tell if removing the rack has reduced the wind noise?

Yes - it’s a huge difference. There’s still quite a bit of regular road noise, but the feeling that the sunroof is always open when driving above 30mpg is gone.

Post Great wagon with one fatal flaw

Nice! Probably the last good normal sedan-height wagon from General Motors since the CTS. This thing would be perfect if they hadn't failed to offer ventilated seats.

Wagon Fans, how many knew there was a Jag Wagon offered in the US from 2018 - 2020 ? Apparently not many as they sold fewer than 250 I think it looks great, was only offered in the S trim here, Supercharged V6 and AWD. You can find great deals on them, still some New 2018's out there, sitting on dealer lots for almost 3 years now.

This wagon has enough power.... The Tundra, on the other hand, needed all the help it could get😂.
Should have seen it when I bought it - the 20” chrome dubs really helped with the fuel economy.

.... when you’re having fun. Not even 4 weeks went by, and I’ve already put 2k+ miles on the German wagon. Still no regrets 😂.

Remember when there was a Regal GS with a manual transmission, only offered in 2012 I think. Was a great idea, 6-speed manual, Brembo brakes, sport-tuned suspension, too bad it didn't last. And now there's no more Regals at all, crazy to think there won't be single car or wagon offered by Buick in 2021
