A Cadillac BLS, based on a 9-3 I think.
Those two exhausts, one each side really hint at the power available from the 1.9 Diesel engine.....

Semi interesting wikipedia article I found about the BLS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_BLS

Ha ha, I was going to say that it had those twin exhausts for the inevitable V8 version they'd have in the USA but on checking that factoid and finding that wikipedia article it became apparant that not only was there never a V8, the BLS wasn't even sold in the USA!

My Passat TDi has twin exhausts and it's hardly a ball of fire!

So what does that make the Passat Alltrack then?

I'm sorry but every time I read that, I think of some cross c*** driving one.

Until yesterday when I saw one, I didn't know that the Kia Stinger existed; what a fantastic looking car:

It's the new V8 Commodore according to the press over here in Oz

Not literally.

Someone previously in the market for a Commodore, may now be buying these. I think.

a MK7 Golf....Alltrack (estate) on the outskirts of Congleton (going towards Buxton)

What a strange thing, the market must be absolutely tiny for such a vehicle

Think of it as a modern day passat 4motion. They're still fetching strong money for an old car. I agree pretty rare though.

Passat Alltrak is legendary over on the leasing thread for the time when VWUK made a pricing error and then for some reason honoured it, resulting in a bunch of people pottering round in them for about £90 a month!

Keep seeing a Polo Saloon locally, had no idea they still offered them.

Found these three while browsing. Not sure on the tr7 and sd1 but I quite like the Capri

[Doofus]

That Capri doesn't look real to me.

[mr alan]

Looks a bit like a scimitar and also Volvo p1800

Don't think it is, I've seen the same pic with an ordinary Capri in it

[DaveGoddard]

TR7 estate is known as the Tracer, two were built - http://www.triumphtrs.co.uk/tracerestate.htm

[soxboy]

The SD1 is also a photoshop - shame as it looks pretty good. They did make a pair of estates though.

I also found a stag coupe that looks a bit like a large gt6 back end stuck on it
