The full-size station wagon is alive and (sort of) well

I swear the Holden Commodore Wagon looks more imposing in the metal than in a cellphone camera JPEG. And it shows that Down Under, the full-size station wagon remains a staple. We plain never caught on to minivans, at least not in the way Americans and Asians have done.

No one has seen me off at the lights yet

Some days I love life. My personal transport from Thursday to Monday, the Audi RS6 Avant, the world’s fastest estate car (the twin-turbo V10 is limited to only 175 mph).

Audi RS6 Avant 1

Audi RS6 Avant 2

Considering it does 16 mpg on a good day, anyone find the number plate somewhat ironic?

The family wagon, Lucire-style

Audi Allroad Quattro 4.2 FSI, photographed by Douglas Rimington, www.detunephotography.com

Since Lucire started, I’ve maintained a motoring column in the tradition of Homéric in Vogue Paris many moons ago. The latest is one on the Audi Allroad Quattro 4·2 FSI, appearing in the July issue of the print edition, but is online now. I promise this is the last one for a while where I make fun of homophobes. For your enjoyment. (Photograph, as with the earlier Audi road test, by Douglas Rimington.)
