Jag XF Sportbrake - nicest looking estate?

[DoubleSix]

Keep seeing these and being struck by how good they look. I've always been of the opinion Audi made the nicest looking estates but I think the XF Sportbrake might have knocked them off that spot...

Lovely looking thing. Feel free to tell me they are actually a bit rubbish then I can stop lusting after one.

I've just read they only come in diesel.....

Apart from the petrol ones, like the supercharged V8 petrol one???

Yeah I was reading an old review, it seems the petrols are out now....

Back on!!

Reviews suggest the size sits between a 3 series and 5 series which I find appealing, the 5 being just that little bit lumpy for my liking

Boom! Looks lovely!!

I'm not sure why they don't offer the 3.0 supercharged V6 in the Sportbrake as they do in the saloon.

The R-S is probably too extreme for most, great though they are. I suppose they must have reason to believe that everyone who buys an estate doesn't rank the need for a rude soundtrack and petrol style delivery very highly, preferring MPG and silencing instead.

Annoying isn't it. That engine would be the sweet spot for me.

Tis only a faint whiff though isn't it?

I mean, I hope I'm not old at 35yo but I can genuinely see the appeal so I think Jag are repositioning themselves quite well in that regard.

The CLS does look like it's been penned by 3 different people.

All of them blind.
