Default Wagons used for towing in Europe

Eric,

I don't know if it's available in Europe, but another
wagon to consider is the Dodge Magnum.

You can get one with all wheel drive and a 5.7 liter
V8. Mileage is rated at 17 mpg and 24 mpg. Horsepower?
345.

Towing capacity is up to 3,800 lbs.

It might, almost, keep up with an average Gee 29.

I believe it's called the Chrysler 300C Touring in Europe, and they even
get the option of a Mercedes diesel. But in any case, it's a still a
frackin' huge vehicle if you're used to something smaller.

Two potential tow cars I haven't heard mentioned:

Volvo V50
Volvo C30 (for the bleeding edge types)

I use a '97 Volkswagen Eurovan (Transporter) Camper myself, with the VR6
engine. It pulled our Duo with ease over the steepest western US
mountain passes, while delivering a little over 20 MPG...
