Well, I can't argue that turbo'd estates aren't cool given that I've just bought one... I did look at a Stagea, but they're very big, so decided to keep it Toyota and go for the Caldina:
In my opinion, better looking than a VR4 or Stagea... Wanted to stay Jap so didn't really consider Volvo's, Audi's etc... Having said that, I'd get an RS4 anyday, but can't bring myself to part with £40k...
