Cars That Looked Best/Worst as an Estate

[gazzarose]

I think my Accord Tourer looks better than the saloon version.



I had an is200 before the Accord, and I thought thought the saloon was a good looking car, but for some reason the Shortcrust estate version just didn't quite look right.

I thought this for one of the best, but when doing a google search, my word - time really hasn't been kind to it.

So I'm voting is as the best and the worst!

Biggest mistake I ever made was to sell it (any reason to post a photo).

Does that count as an estate thought? A bit like a breadvan Polo is sometimes called an estate. Super clean little car BTW

I think the BMW E61 Touring looks better than the E60 saloon, although I'm biased!

Forgot to put a ;-) at the end.

I know this is de railing the topic slightly and that I could be seen as being biased but I think this would have been a handsome brute if it had come to fruition.

Shirley, all Legacys have been better looking as estates. It's as if they designed the wagon first and then tried to cobble a saloon.

Yes. I am biased.

For a mundane modern car from Korea I think this looks pretty good.

Good Grief! Didn't know they made such a horror (the saloon was bad but that...). Edit to add that Hyundai really is a nice looking car in the metal (just a pity about the distinct lack of horses under the bonnet).

I'm biased but think the saloon looks better. However as estates go, those look mighty fine.

Horiffic facelift on the Scorpio but the estate looks miles better than the saloon IMO. I quite like it beceause it's ugly (only with the Cossie motor though).

How I miss this... Thread. End...

These things are pretty hideous in the flesh.....

Yeah it's such a shame they don't do any performance versions, they have some good engines to pick from too but they don't use them in the UK sadly. Stick in the 3.8 V6 they have in the USA with over 300bhp would make a nice rival to some of the Germans.

This is an ugly ass monster too.
