Have estates lost their appeal again?

[Pints]

The Jag XF estate thread got me thinking. Back in the seventies, estates were all the rage. Then over the past decade or so there seemed to be a huge revival with a wide range of estates being available.

However, anecdotal evidence would suggest there's a shift away from estates again. Does the collective agree or am I just looking in the wrong direction?

Just meandering thoughts while I lay here on a Saturday morning.
