Mercedes E350 4Matic wagon, 7 seats when you want, 5 when you don't....decent load space...

A remarkably practical family car...with permanent four wheel drive..

Oh...if you feel more grunt is required there is always the E63 version...

Q5 looks like a nice car. Since my Porsche dealer also owns an Audi dealership I will probably get an invite. When is it due?

I've been waiting for a ski trip so I can take a pic of myself in front of the sign to 'complete' the collection. My brother took his kids up there this week and there was one day that was -8 in the morning!
