Fast cars with cargo space

[b_t]

My lease on my truck is just about up, time to find something new. Unfortunately my criteria seem to be mutually exclusive. I'm looking for something that
- is fast and fun to drive
- has a lot of cargo space. doesn't have to be enclosed.

my third criteria, which disqualifies some of the obvious choices that fit options 1 and 2 is

- can't be ugly as sin (hence, no STi 5 door or Magnum SRT-8)

is there something I'm missing? Really the best option I can think of would be if GM made a new El Camino, except they never will. I'm not opposed to 5 doors per se, because I actually like how the Audi A3 looks, but I don't know much about how it drives.

328 wagons or bmw x1? X3 35i is really quick if you're looking to spend $50K +

We don't get the B8 Audi S4 Avant here, but you can pick up a used B7 Audi S4 Avant.

340hp, 6 speed manual, wagon. It was my thought as well!

M5 wagon.

What car should i buy!!?!?!?, must be fast and have trunk. Budget apparently irrelevant !!!

Buy a ferrari with a cargo trailer

budget is about $2.40 plus a tim hortons gift card

don't see how I could make it any more clear. depending on if I can buy the car new or not changes the price. used I won't spend as much, putting the Jeep SRT8 out of my price range. new.. I can afford quite a bit

the X1 is about as ugly as most new small BMWs imo, can't stand that thing. the X3 is nice though, its still on the list.. not a fan of BMW's 328 wagon.

the Audis are nice but I'm not quite sure if my taste is discerning enough to justify the price difference between a S4 and, say, a hopped up Golf

What is your definition of fast?

zero to 60 in less than 12 seconds

not crazy fast. like a V6 Genesis coupe that could haul shit in the back. easy modability is a plus, so I have a preference for turbo cars or north american V8s

The a4 wagon s line is really nice. Just not the quickest car in the world.

don't like the benz or the audi, the BMW X5 is too much and I'd prefer something lower to the ground.

that said though, the Raptor is super tempting, been trying to line up a test drive on one.. the cost of gas for it and past bad experiences with Fords are working against it. but if I can't find a car that fits, it'd be what I'd go with

Wow

You seem like a classy guy .... The Pontiac Aztek sounds like the perfect car for you.
Definitely "fast" enough for you, and lots of cargo space.

What color Raptor would you get?

[gojetsgo]

What about buying an old El Camino and restoring it?

I like the orange and the blue both, with no decals.

really tho its one of those trucks that looks good in any color. imo Ford knocked it out of the park with that one

as far as getting an old car gets, I thought about that too. an old El Camino with a LS1 swap would get the job done but you have sacrifice a lot of modern conveniences to do it.

plus I just used the term El Camino because people would recognize it. when I think modern Caminos, I think the Pontiac G8 ute concept they showed a few years back but never built

dear god I would love to have one. awesome motor, awesome transmission, RWD, somewhat lightweight, and it looked as good as a car-truck-thing can look
