    Anything wagon related can go in the general section and threads about the classics and older wagons should be in yesteryear sub forum.

    Rev, I love the classics, but their are some great wagons being built today, like the 300HP Volvo V70 R....

    It depends on when the generation of a model ends. Cars like the volvo 240 were produced from 1974 - 1993 (assuming there was no redesign) and the Caprice's second to last generation were produced from 1977 - 1990 and I consider these 'old' wagons. Other cars, like the Subaru GL, were redesigned in 1985, so I consider Subarus wagons up to 1984 as 'old'.

    Im sure many of the newer parts would fit with little or no modification on the older wagons, so that is why I include them. This is not fixed in stone and if the members want it, I could change it to a fixed date.

    Rev, what your break for new and old?
