Cefiro Wagon

We have quite a few of these driving around New Zealand but I doubt theres many in the US.. I think the wagons are popular with the car audio guys.. i prefer the sedan personally

disclaimer/ pls don't flame me if this is a repost, maybe should be in other rides section but not everyone goes there.

Cefiro Wagon comes in 2, 2.5 and 3.0 (not many around)

I always liked the station wagons, especially the sleepers. HEHE dodge magnum r/t is hte newest wagon sleeper imo. But that thing with a turbo or small twin turbos. "I gotta go get some groceries" *sound of peeling rubber*

Wonder what it would take to get that over here to america.

front looks very nice, i agree. not a fan of the rear, though. not bad for a wagon, but the way the rear pillar doesn't stand out from the window seems kind of odd. but definitely

for a rare car!

Imagine importing one and swapping in a VQ35 w/bolt ons! That would be one hot sleeper.

Too bad, because that's one wagon I would seriously consider, especially if it got the Infiniti treatment. As for this Cefiro, I'm not digging the styling so much. Too last decade for me, like the old Accord, Camry, Tarus, and Saab wagons. Oddly enough, Volvo wagons still look fresh, despite not having changed all that much over the years.

True that...I actually really like the front and it's profile, the rear is blahh!!! I would custum retrofit the 97-99 tails, smoked(y not, all honda ricers do it to their civics or wtv). Also, i like the 97-99 SE rims on it....looks really nice, i would so drive that

This is probably one of the best looking wagons on the market today IMO. Just that we can't get it here...yet. I wouldn't mind an Evo wagon either, but again, not available in the US.

Check that: The Audi and Volvo wagons aren't bad looking either, but ironically I actually wouldn't touch any of the wagons I mentioned because of reliability concerns....which leaves me still holding on to my Max...which ain't a bad thing.

LOL. Well Nissan stop selling the wagon version for the Maxima since the intro of the 4th gen. just like Honda Accord hasn't made a wagon since the last generation. Seem like people are more favored with SUV and Mini Van. So it does make no sense to make a wagon version of their sedan counterpart.

Despite being an older car, that front end looks very fresh. I was surprised though cause i thought it had a kit on from the original pics but then i saw the brochure scan and that was yet another pleasant surprise

I must agree. I saw one in town yesterday in white and thought to myself "That's one wagon that I wouldn't mind driving!" My dad is fond of the A3 wagon.

This AS3-R is pretty sweet.

Hmm.....wagon....not my style, but the bumper is nice, not sure how any of you would pick a wagon over a sedan though, unless you happen to have 3 kids and be a mom....
