Audi S4
"Driving pleasure in a station wagon? Absolutely! Gone are the days of using wagons merely for carting around kids and stuffing full of groceries. Now everyday errands become guilty pleasures. The S4 Avant is as comfortable commuting to work as it is mugging unsuspecting sports cars on weekend forays into the country. Its effortless blend of luxury, style and utility endows it with a degree of versatility that challenges traditional classification. Throw in sports-car-rivaling performance, and it may very well belong in a class of its own. Audi calls it an Avant. I call it a roaring good time."

MB E55 AMG
"...Nevertheless, like other Mercedes-Benz models that come to mind, the E55 AMG wagon seems to diminish in size, the harder I push. By contrast, the Audi S4 already feels pre-shrunk. And I would certainly acknowledge the bad-weather capability of its Quattro all-wheel drive. In my stints on this trip, the S4 felt especially nimble and stable, though lacking the road-stripping torque of the other two..."

Dodge Magnum
"...While power is important, making the Magnum into a more sporting piece required a significant altering of the suspension. The basics remain the same, but specially tuned dampers, altered spring rates, new suspension bushings, larger-diameter anti-roll bars and a half-inch-lower ride height give the Magnum a more tied-down feel. The SRT8's ESP stability program's threshold was raised, allowing drivers to have a bit more fun with their car when the going gets twisty..."
