Cars That Looked Best/Worst as an Estate

Bad: B8 A4 Saloon



I've never been a fan of saloon cars, they always look a bit too 'big in the rear' for my liking.

Has no place in this thread based on any interpretation. Frickin' hell. This is either sheer ignorance or illiteracy.

Always quite liked this generation Primera, but someone put zero effort into designing the estate!

Good shout.

ok ok, I know its an MPV but...................

This wasn't made in any other bodystyle. The Rhodius is becoming the PH version of Godwin's Law.

Is the last three digits of the plate on the Alpina 'ULM'? Think I've seen that car around Southampton...

Originally it was a Ford LTD Country Squire (though quite heavily made up for the film - National Lampoon's Vacation in case you're wondering) and the closest related saloon was the LTD sedan.

This version Civic is far better looking than the 5 door hatch IMO.

Strong words for something that wasn't a lot worse looking than the saloon version. I'm intrigued if you could now find words for its interior!

By god it is ugly though. And so was the saloon on which it is based. Just bad.

That, to me looks like someone has squashed and stretched an old Volvo estate. Somehow, it appeals to me though.

I don't care if it came from a factory, a shed or Mordor. It's a crime against vision. Look at it.

Insignia - the estate is better. I've tried to find a boggo-ish estate too, as there's lot's of VXR-y type things with flash alloys on google images which would be slightly unfair.

I'm pretty sure there was an actual production car that had a front end very similar to this. The Ford Country Squire is Peter Griffins car.

The GB270 looks superb as a wagon. I have a classic Impreza wagon and have always preferred the looks of it over the saloon, contrary to the views of a few earlier in this thread!

[lickatysplit]

I'm surprised no ones mentioned this beaut, and that's not sarcasm

Charming!

I was trying to show that the B8 A4 Avant was/is a beautifully crafted estate car, especially when compared to the saloon version. Have I misunderstood your original post/question?

That as maybe, but it has no more right to be in this thread than a picture of a dog turd, which is equally as unpleasant and irrelevant to the discussion.
