Wicked Vist!

Hagerty did this spot on there car comparison video. A Ferrari vs a Vista wagon.

I had a '66 Buick Sportwagon as my first car. Love the skylight windows!

Enjoy!

There was another thread about this "comparison " earlier in the day. That Ferrari is not a family hauler. That Vista with an LSX, well............

Quite a neat video. Mods to the Vista were tasteful, too - I like it.
However, in disagreement with them, a Ferrari is NOT a family car, but an exotic sports car. Not a car to place in a shopping center parking lot or have kids in the back eating and drinking. Also, no room for purchases, unless they are tiny. Also, when seen from a distance, the Vista is certainly more distinctive, as it is so differently styled. The Ferrari would just blend into the surrounding bubble crowd until its badges were recognized.
I would take the Vista in a heartbeat. It looks great, would haul a family, a boat, a ton of luggage, and some serious a$$ as well!

Eric, how many kids are you putting in the backseat? Where do the diaper bags and groceries go?

Sorry, I have to disagree. A bellybutton motor is never "tasteful".
