I loved all my estate cars, I’d have another tomorrow. Most useful private transport available.Yup. Except estates/wagons/whatever are almost dead because noone buys them.
And yet seen as not a proper 'status' car. I've had actual written complaints from customers for sending an e-class estate to do 'executive' work.I loved all my estate cars, I’d have another tomorrow. Most useful private transport available.

Where do we start with this? The loathsome underlying politics or the hilariously Freudian choice of adjectives?
YEEEEHAAA!
Maybe start with the fact that it was clearly tongue-in-cheek.
But you post shit like that all the time.
Although accurate in Frank’s case.Maybe start with the fact that it was clearly tongue-in-cheek.

I'm talking about the kind of arsehole who'll refuse to get in a brand new S class because it's the wrong colour. Or turn away a 7 series or A8 cause it's not a merc. There's some proper wankers out there.The RS6 only comes in estate form now, one is the most bad arsed motors you can buy today. The ability to do 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with four passengers and a brace of labradors in the back is something all right thinking people need...
This and to some extent the 'SUVs have no space' problem is a product of evolutionary bodges rather than holistic design. Batteries shoehorned into conventional cars, rather than a car designed around batteries, inherently have space restrictions. SUVs with large bodies built on existing small platforms as a response to the market direction also inherit some of the small car restrictions, as well as some new ones from the awkward packaging.Mind you hybrids have the same problem. The hybrid e-classes turned out to be totally shit for PCO work because you can't get even two people's luggage in the boot which is mostly taken up by battery.

I think you got them to the airport and I take over from there.
"He says his seat is not on the upper deck, he must have a seat on the upper deck!"
"It's a 777"
"He will not travel unless he can sit upstairs!"

Just strap the cunt to the fuselage.
Have you ever actually had someone say that?I think you got them to the airport and I take over from there.

In fairness, you’re comparing a twin turbo A6, one of the quickest and best handling estates on the roads, to a Merc ML, which is a shed designed to pull boats and caravans. A Macan Turbo would be a better comparison.If you need space in a car an estate is the way to go. At Christmas we were loaned a massive Merc SUV whilst our car went in for repairs, it was huge, designed to look powerful and intimidating, yet the cabin and boot were smaller than our estate car. It was sluggish away from the lights, rolled around like a boat and the MPG was shocking. They sell like hot cakes.
Have you ever actually had someone say that?
Yes, on many occasions. Some people who fly a lot can be massive bellends.
I have one prick who will not travel unless he can have seat 1A on European flights, to the extent that board meetings that have been arranged over 12 months in advance need to be moved to accommodate him.
Cocaine is a hell of a drug.
I've had someone miss their own private flight slot because they wouldn't get in a silver S class. (director of a posh art gallery)Have you ever actually had someone say that?
The RS6 is probably the most awesomely silly car on the market. It is to estate cars what Concorde was to airliners.The RS6 only comes in estate form now, one is the most bad arsed motors you can buy today.

Not my experience at all.YouTube dashcam footage disagrees. The biggest mouth breathers are invariably people in small hatchbacks who throw their cars onto mini-roundabouts in front of others, leaning on their horns and shouting "give way you cuuuunt".

And pronounced with the middle and index fingerThey should just call them 'V's.
All the stuff you hear about drivers of 'X' being bigger dickheads than drivers of 'Y' is nonsense and almost always selectively recalled or fabricated to suit whatever prejudice one is currently trying to support (see that preposterous claim upthread that drivers are 3% less likely to yield at crossings per $1000 they spend on their cars). In reality I suspect that percentage-wise, just as many twats drive Fords as Audis and estates as saloons. The exceptions are vehicles that have been retrofitted with styling mods, window tints, or aftermarket exhaust systems, all of which are sure signs of a fucktoad within.Not my experience at all.
