Cars that look better as estates

mumblin deaf ro

The Saab thread got me thinking. I think both the 9-3 and 9-5 look better in estate form. I think the volvo V50 looks better than the S40. I also have a soft spot for the Mondeo estate.

Any others?

.Longshanks.

Any Mercedes-Benz looks beter as a Station Wagon. These two are the good examples:

Ok Ok not as good as the Saloon but seriously cool estate

so fairly much all of them....I'm not so sure about the merc estates though.
The 9-5 aswell seems a little over complicated, but Audi's have always looked better in the Avants.

The new C5 is one of my favourite looking estates

This thread would have been a lot shorter if it had been called 'Cars that don't look better as estates' The only three I would have been able to come up with off the top of my head would have been the Alfa 156, the Peugeot 406, and the original SAAB 9-5.

Most people haven't got image zoom for Firefox, so I don't see the point in posting huge images. Having to scroll around looking at it takes away from just looking at a beautiful image

So Estates are now cool again, I've noticed alot more around. Alot of yummy mummies seem to be ditching there 4x4's for estates. Looks like the eco warriers are winning or maybe the recession is to blame.

Now I fully expect to be alone on this but I really like these...

Estates are cool, prestigue German cars esp seem to gain an extra something (apart from an extra foot ot two).

There is a seperate thread for estate cars that look bad.

M3 Estate


In fact, the last two three series estates looked better than the saloon as well.

Weird Irish attitude towards estates, isn't it?

Yeah, but I'd prefer it to the M3 saloon, which is the point of the thread!
