    I really like the looks of it. Hope the interior isn't like the last gen St interior, very bland. Its 24kg heavier than the hatch but still has the same 0-62 time, top speed, bhp etc. For petrol heads who are also family men :)

    Thoughts on it?

    I like the idea of a fast estate but does it have to be so ugly? It looks like a catfish from the front

    I'm a fan. Always liked quick estates. Nearly 40mpg too.

    Nor sure about the look of it however.

    It won't get anywhere near 40 mpg in the real world though

    YES - to a fast Estate. ( still have a sweet spot for volvo v70R )
    NO - to ford focus estate as it looks like crap.

    No chance alright but the tax should be reasonable at least.

    Too many doors
    Not enough cylinders

    That is all (Interior does look nice though)

    Interesting review "I got into a BMW M5 straight afterwards and didn't have anywhere near as much fun."

    That says more about the current M5 though, doubt he would have drawn that conclusion in the V10

    I'd like it as a sleeper. Put steelies on it, take off any ST badges, stick a baby on board sticker on the back and watch peoples faces when you put the boot down:D
