if you went really slow you might be OK. I've twice gone through bumper-deep water in a VW GTI, but it's the air intake you have to worry about. I was thinking about this yesterday watching some people try to drive thru a flooded road.
The problem is what you will do if the car dies in the middle. You very well can't open the doors if the water is above the door bottoms. And water will find its way in anyway. Better to wait. Although I suppose you could circumvent the regular air intake to make a "snorkle," but it would mean having some ducting on hand.
