Might not look like much but... 300bhp, 6-speed auto, comfy seats, sports suspension (i.e. stiffer and lower with 18" alloys), cost me barely £2k when it had 6 years and 50k miles under its belt. It took us across Europe several times. Yes, it is the mighty Vauxhall Vectra Elite 2.8T with remap of questionable provenance.
Depending on your definition of "normal", one of the last normal models from normal manufacturers to have a 6 cylinder engine.
I bloody loved that car. I still follow his progress through his MOTs, and from the failures and subsequent passes can see that his most recent owner seems to be keen to keep him going too.

I have a strange desire for the Vectra VXR estate. Arden Blue of course. Depending on your definition of "normal", one of the last normal models from normal manufacturers to have a 6 cylinder engine.

Such a rare beast compared to the C7 crazy engine to have in an estate car!
One of the reasons I bought it, so my kids could experience a V10, albeit as you say in a crazy combination of family wagon. I also have an old D2 S8, with the 4.2 V8. Just need to make sure they have enough videos of them to show their kids if they have any..who will be living in a very sad world of EVs, though they will be quick and quiet but equally soulless
