If you had $30 to $32K to spend what wagon would you get? Looking for the Outback replacement.

S4 Avant gets my vote if you're looking for sportiness.

Default I test drove the Outbacks...

pleasant enough, but the driving experience was low. I bet a S4 Avant would be fun, if you could find a deal!

Volvo XC or maybe MDX or Pilot if you need utility. Allroad is a PIG, low mpg, no room

I'd somehow find another $3K and buy the Volvo XC90.

I saw an x90 up close, beautiful! I'd give them a year to work out the bugs...

Default I'd pick the allroad...

I like the S4 Avant too, but somehow my impression is that the S4 is gonna have more problems in the long run (even though the allroad shares the same engine).
