Anything Jap to replace an E39 BMW
Discussion
A while ago I had a BMW E39 530d estate, had it from newish and kept it for about 12 years. Since then I have had various German equivalents but they and most modern stuff disappoints with its plastic fall apart nature. When things fail you look at them and it is obvious that they failed because 4p was saved in the build. Not something I found with the E39.
The obvious thing is to go back to an old 530 but I was wondering if there is an equivalent iconic Jap car. Ideally I would like an estate or large hatch with rear wheel drive with a reasonably agreeable engine. I don't need somewhere to plug in a telephone/store music/ or an electronic women with a map to tell me how to get places. I just want something that is nicely engineered with nuts and bolts holding it together not brittle plastic clips.
Don't mind something older or ugly, there is no requirement to be fashionable. Would prefer a car rather than something on stilts that you need to climb up into.
Any suggestions ?
