GT-R wagon? WTH! - Page 2

It looks better than the coupe imo. And it least in the wagon form you can feel more like its gargantuan weight is more justified.

My cinnabons exactly!

The market needs less SUV's and "crossovers" and more hot wagons.

the back looks good, the front still looks like ass, and it will still break transmissions and engine blocks.

Nice try, but until they can make a functional GTR, Ghey.

Looks boring. I think a Mazda 6 looks just as good for half the price.

The back half looks like an updated Volvo 850.

The tall tail lights and the glass wrapping in to the roofline give it a Volvo V70 look. The quad storm sewer sized exhaust pipes set it a bit apart though.

Let's get this over with right now: This isn't really a Nissan GT-R wagon. That said, it is a decidedly artful conversion of the Japanese automaker's M35 series Stagea wagon, a JDM load-lugger it produced from 2001 to 2007. Available in both rear- and all-wheel drive with a variety of V6 powerplants, the now-dead Stagea has been called the "GT-R Wagon" by many enthusiasts.

Spotted at Nagoya Auto Trend this weekend, this particular Stagea looks to be a super-clean conversion, with a well-integrated R35 GT-R front-end that's been carried through along the bodysides, with factory-like rocker panel indents and modestly rear quarter panels to keep the theme.

While we don't have information about what lurks underneath, the folks at GTRBlog speculate that the wagon could have something interesting like a stroked VQ-series V6 with a twin-turbo kit. Given the apparent high level of finish on the outside, we would hope for nothing less. Check out the galleries below for more shots of both the GT-R and Stagea wagons... and if you find any additional information on this particular car, drop us a tip!

Wagons are very similar to 5-door hatchbacks, so according to you a Mazdaspeed 3 must be gay too.

Personally, if anything's gay, it's crossover SUV's. Wagons are a lot more practical and spacious inside.

That is definitely sweet but it's still just a grocery getter at the end of the day. Would I rock it? Hell yeah but I'd rather have the coupe assuming they are the same price.
