Estate cars with lots of rear seat legroom?
Discussion
Holden Commodore Sportswagon, utterly enormous. Comical figures, and yet the 'VE' (~2007 onwards) ones were criticised in Aus for the boot being too small
Skoda Superb has 660 litres with the seats up, the Commo has 895 Loads of rear seat room as well.
Impressively though the Superb is 1950 litres seats down, the Commo only 2000.
You'll have a hard time finding one over here though!
For reference as the why the Aussies complained, the previous gen (VZ) wagons had a frankly ridiculous 1,402 litres with the seats up, expanding to 2,752 litres with the seats down

Do the options get better if I look at crossover/midsized SUVs?
No. You need to be looking at a full fat Range Rover size car to get equivalent legroom to a Superb.
'Midsize SUV's have often similar or less legroom than the 'midsize' hatchbacks they are based on/have replaced.

Is the commodore not very closely related to a Opel/Vauxhall Omega?
Sort of, but not in any useful way. Probably best described as having a common ancestor, but unable to breed The Aus platform is wider for one thing which puts a stop to lots of conveneint part swapping. The door handles are the same though, except the Omega's are metal, the Holdens got GM's finest plastic Oh and the bonnet struts, whilst not physically identical, are interchangeable.
The tail lights of the two look very similar too, but haven't had cause to investigate that yet.
