Warms me cockles......estates rock. I have absolutely no need for an estate but I just just it is more stealth. I can live with the extra 0.1 second to 60mph ;-)

I think the Volvo T5 and the touring car series had a LOT to do with estate cars being thought as...As Cool
My dads always had estates and our lifestyle means they are so so much more pratical than a saloon. IMHO they always seems to look better also and not quite as common.
I would love a E55 Estate but running costs and not being able to fit a towbar
would put be off. I'm happy with my old bus for now.
Good report though and thanks for posting

I worked for Volvo at the time that the T5R's cleaned up ...
On one race they cable tied a stuffed alsation toy (full size ) to the roll cage in the boot section and raced with it.
Pretty certain it was Jan Lammers driving at the time.

I've been in Scumbags C63,
it is very refined, very Mercedes like, it even rides comfortable, although he says it doesn't, it does.
It makes a nice noise when given welly, but they are pretty refined cars nonetheless. I would love one money no object. Hell, if I had a spare £40k, I'd have taken scumbags car off him. They are a nice size, big enough to be comfy but no so big you cannot drive with enthusiasm
