Did they ever do these as an estate?
V6 Manual?
Yes & yes. :-)

The family shed is an '02 406 V6 manual estate. Bit beaten up but jolly good fun and useful.

You can get a Vauxhall Insignia with a 2.8 litre turbo V6.
The Citroen C5 can also be had with a nice diesel V6 (I think?)
You can also get a Skoda Superb with a 3.6 litre V6


I can't think of any others but there probably are some
The Vauxhall has been replaced with a 2.0 turbo now (I think the VXR still has the V6, although it is not really the sort of model my post was about). Don't think Citroen do a V6 C5 anymore, largest engine is apparently a 200bhp 2.2td now. Think you can still get the Skoda, so it is a very nearly non existent market now!

..........Was the XJR pristine and like new, fully serviced, always garaged and 38000 miles from new ?...I doubt it.

It makes you realise how far automatics have come when you look at the performance difference in these older cars.

7.6 seconds to 60 manual
9.3 seconds to 60 automatic

Still this looks in remarkable condition for a 17 year old car.

I still place my boggo 1.8LX 406 in my Top 5 cars.

Loved it, and always aspired to the giddy heights of an auto V6 smile

This car is good for females only, to be a male and be in this is like a Tuna wearing a tie!

You're either absolutely mental or a comic genius. I can't decide which. hehe

Well fist of all Jackie Chan is Chinese and I am Japanese so we are not at all the same (although long time fan) and secondly how am I mental by saying that this is a womans car in my country. This is true , it is like the color pink only for the female. There is a Japanese proverb that says "One hair of a woman draws a great Elephant" when you understand this you will become great my adle minded friend!

How many Peugeot 406's are there in Japan? The answer is zero clearly, post of a photo of a Japanese woman driving one in Japan and I'll change my mind.

I suspect there'll be a Japanese proverb along shortly to explain it.

I Am at the mercy of Google Image, for I could not find the image that you have requested by me but hear me now and believe me later it is a car driven by the woman in Japan, I would go out to the streets to take pictures but this could get me in foul from the police as an act of perversion, I hope you understand this. But for the purpose of this forum I will educate you on my countries history with Peugeot 46.

This car is very popular in Asia "with woman" because cheap basic versions of the car were also built at the Industrial Factories across asia especially in Lad Krabang, Bangkok, Thailand (lets not forget the French roots in Vietnam) and these were imported to.....get ready for this my adle minded friend "JAPAN". Why woman you may ask, because the bread winner in Japan is the man and most woman are not permitted to drive for financial reasons and because the expense is great in Japan, but their are men who will buy there mistress a car or can afford the wife to have one to run errands and this cheap bare knock down 406 is best value if you want to risk the unsafty of having a woman behind the wheel!

Now before I leave I will leave you with these words "The jellyfish never dances with the shrimp" when you understand this then you can move on to being a man!

If you said 206 then I could understand, I looked on a Japanese 2nd hand car website and the only Peugeots they had for sale were 206's. Lots of women over here drive them as well, they also favour the Honda Jazz and Toyota Yaris and Fiat 500's. But the 406 is more like a Lexus GS300 or something.

If I said the 206 you would say the 406 "A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees."
