Which Estates would you get if there were no BMW touring models??

My favourites include:

Legnum VR4
Volvo V70R
Ford Mondeo ST220

but I'm sure there are many other great ones about!

E30's still do look great as tourings (hell they seem to win awards ;)) but my personal favourite is the Legnum VR4, only to be reinforced this morning as I heard a deep "VROOOOM TSCHHH" as it was boosting and dumping along :P

Personally, I am more into saloons so the Galant VR4 would still be preferred over the Legnum, if only the bumpers were as deep :twisted:

When I bought my Touring, I had 3 requirements.....
6 cylinders.
Rear wheel drive.
Less than £2k purchase price.
That left me with only a few options. BMW, Vauxhall Omega or Sierra were the ones that sprang to mind although there may have been others I hadn't thought about.
Scimitar would have been nice, but for the use I had to put it to it wouldn't have cut it.


Make that 4 requirements.....
It had to be European.

An Audi RS model or a Mercedes AMG model.

Shame I couldn't afford and definitely wouldn't be able to insure either.
