Cars which look better in Estate form.

[jmsguzzi]

Apologies if this is a proper shit thread but looking at an Alfa 159 Sportwagon today got me thinking.  So cars that look better as the less popular estate (Volvo's excluded).

 

I'll start:

Obviously...

Rover 75 comes to mind.

Nearly all cars look better as an estate, the only exceptions being home conversion lookalikes like the Laguna 1.

Audi 80...

A Citroen GS saloon looks nice, an estate looks as nice.

 

A GSA hatch is nasty, a GSA estate wins.

 

The Vauxhall Vectra generally looks a dog's dinner. The estate, especially with smoked rear lenses on the other hand...

 

The Dacia Logan saloon is a bit grim. It all gets much better in estate form.

 

Actually, perhaps controversially, I've decided the CX looks better as a load lugger too.

I know some people think they look a bit like a small hearse but I've always liked the Allegro estate.

To me the saloon, especially the 4 door, looks a bit chubby to me.

It's the different between dogshit & catshit as far as I'm concerned

Love this Rover, not that practical but looks the part! Those Alfas are lovely but I'm scared of the Alfas in my price range!

What?! Oh no. The Ami 6 berline is FAR superior to the estate. So much so that even my wife refuses to entertain the idea of us ever owning a 6 estate. She'd be very happy with a 6 berline.

No, now your just being silly - that Rover is about as attractive as Hayley Cropper in a basque, before the op.

You are blind I tell ye. Blind. The saloon is a far sexier beast.

I have an aversion to reverse-rake rear windows in general.

I'm another that thinks pretty much all cars look better as estates, here's one of mine.

Tarpan Kombi.

Skoda Felicia looks better proportioned as an estate.

 

I'm probably in a class of one with this, but I like the Sierra estate much more than the hatch or saloon.

Enough with the A4s already, Faker!

 

From my Subaru days:

These defo look better than their hatchback brethren - I still wouldnt have one though.

This is of course TEH SEX and nothing else in estate form comes close.
