15: Audi RS 6 Avant

With Porsche genes running through its bloodlines, the Audi RS 6 Avant is a clear descendant of the Panamera. Taking a cue from the BMW M5 Estate, the RS 6 Avant uses the same type of German charm in a wagon. German engineered station wagons are far from a boring driving experience, even a VW Passat Wagon drives amazingly well. This wagon has a massive V10 engine that pumps out a whopping 570 horsepower.

One notable feature of the RS 6 Avant is the adaptive suspension, which adjusts itself while driving. This technology was also prominent and late model BMW models and it helps the car to conform to certain road conditions. All of these features combined create one of the most powerful station wagons on the road today.

14: BMW 3-Series Wagon

Although BMW has refused to build an M3 Wagon, there is a 3-Series wagon that still has an acceptable amount of performance. Off the straight line, the turbocharged four-cylinder propels the 3-Series from 0-60 in under six seconds. You could theoretically give a C5 Corvette a run for its money in one of these wagons and do it in comfort. The BMW 3-Series offers one of the purest driving experiences you can get for the money.

The 3-Series stands out from the crowd for a design that has lasted the test of time. BMW is always careful with the redesigns when it comes to the 3-Series and with good reason. While the 3-Series Wagon might not beat a Corvette in a straightaway, it will give the Vette a run for its money.

13: Buick Roadmaster Estate

A dream for many automotive enthusiasts is to have a 1995 Chevy Impala SS wagon, unfortunately, there was never an official model. The Buick Roadmaster Estate was that vehicle that enthusiasts yearned for, all under a slightly different disguise. The Roadmaster is perhaps one of the most underrated vehicles of all time. The Corvette-derived LT1 engine, while detuned, is still a full factory Corvette powerplant.

Propelling this heavy beast from 0-60 in under seven seconds is a notable feat. There are plenty of aftermarket upgrades that you can do to the Roadmaster that will increase the horsepower tremendously. A popular upgrade is to swap out the Buick body pieces with those from an Impala, making a rather unique-looking car.

12: Ferrari GTC4Lusso

You might not know it but Ferrari also sells a wagon model, albeit far less popular than the other wagons we’ve showcased. The GTC4Lusso is similar to the Panamera in a lot of ways and others, it’s the most practical Ferrari that you can get. The 4+4 seating means that you get Ferrari performance with the practical aspects of a family sedan. The AWD capability means that you can take this car in the snow for the weekend and still be comfortable.

The GTC4Lusso is quite expensive but the price for a used example has come down in the past couple of years. The interesting thing about the car is that it offers a subtle range of performance and luxury features that all blend quite well. Few wagons can take a Corvette on and beat it but the GTC4Lusso is one of them.

11: Holden Commodore Sportwagon

You might think that the Commodore looks familiar and that’s because it’s the same company that brought us the Pontiac G8 and the Chevy SS. The Sportwagon version of this car has the same power that you’d find under the hood of a Corvette. V8-powered wagons are hard to come by nowadays and the Commodore Sportwagon offers a serious blend of power and performance.

The looks of the car are also nothing to sneeze at, with stylish curves and a nice set of wheels to set things off. Holden has seemingly existed in the performance market in previous years but the Commodore has remained a placeholder for the brand. If you want Corvette power wrapped up in a stylish wagon, you can’t go wrong with the Commodore Sportwagon.

10: Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon

The original Cadillac CTS-V blew doors off the auto industry when it was originally released. The car was at the apex of the performance and luxury world. The CTS-V Sport Wagon takes things to another level with a serious blend of performance and quality. Its luxurious interior and cargo space are only matched by the Cadillac features that you’d come to expect. The CTS-V will take a Corvette on thanks to the Corvette power plant under the hood.

On top of all that performance, the CTS-V is designed to be a driver’s car. The suspension has been upgraded as well as the wheels and brakes. In every sense of the word, the CTS-V is just about the best performance bargain that you can get. The supercar handling and the off-the-line performance are the best aspects of this car.

The “box” Chevy is one of the most popular body styles the brand ever had. The Caprice Corvette Chaser was a special prototype that was designed by GM. Legend has it that there are quite a few of these prototypes that have made it onto the roadways. Its distinct white paint and subtle performance are two of the things that make this car stand out.

8: Dodge Hemi Coronet Wagon

The Dodge Coronet isn’t the first car that comes to mind when you think of performance. But that didn’t stop Dodge from building a performance version of the car. By cramming a Hemi engine into the Coronet Wagon, the company created quite the muscle car. You could even say that the Coronet Wagon was the precursor to the Dodge Magnum drivers got decades later.

These wagons are quite rare but their performance is quite legendary. You can’t go wrong with the original Hemi V8 power crammed into a Coronet wagon. The look and feel of this wagon are something that you just don’t get very often, and the sound of the Hemi is noteworthy.

7: Chevrolet Chevelle SS Wagon

Another rarity in the muscle car world is the Chevelle SS Wagon. GM was reluctant to sell one of these until 1973 rolled around. The company needed to bolster sales and thus a Chevelle SS Wagon was indeed released to the public. The car had many of the same features as the original Chevelle SS, which made it quite a unique ride.

The standout feature of the Chevelle SS wagon was of course the performance, which at the time was ahead of the curve. The look and feel of this ride were not only fast but also ahead of its time, as performance wagons were a new concept.
