You included a great sedan and SUV comparison. I am always for the sedans. :) Having a 6-cyl is a symphony. Always was. Got my like. Lep pozdrav iz Kopra. :)
There is nothing like a well designed estate car and let's face it they all look great, I have a saloon B8 Passat and although I love the car I wish I bought the estate version (wagon). I think the issue is the manufacturers don't push them. I mean, sell them as sporty family cars and they would shift a lot more.
