Mk7 R Estate

[corgi]

With the new Focus STD in the wings it cant be long before the GTD estate shows its face?

And you think that even Ford will call the diesel ST the STD? 

The Golf R Estate looks fine and I can see them selling well unlike the Passat R36 which is as rare as rocking horse poo...

Some are so besotted by the Golf moniker that even if a Golf variant looked like a pig they would salivate excessively and celebrate it as beautiful. The Golf R Estate is a pig and a really ugly and disproportionate one at that. Even an ugly pig would be too embarrassed to call it one of its own.

WOW! You'll even copy and paste the insults from the R forum just to get a rise out of interested people??

Ha, Ha. Not a full copy and paste. But still my own words.   
But I do think it looks most odd.
ETTO.

He's not alone in his thoughts though, Jimble.  If we're copying and pasting insults...

... the R estate is an abomination to a purist like me

Hearses don't sell well anymore. It is the age of the SUV instead.

Some can't afford 60-70k for a new RS4 but also don't want to jump on the family bus wagon, unless you're willing to buy a used (and abused) RS4 then an R estate is an ideal solution for a gap in the market, it may not be the prettiest but who buys an estate because it's the best looking??

I disagree with this too tbh, it's nothing new putting an R on big family cars, R36 and R50 although they didn't sell in big numbers they still exist, i can't see the estate affecting the hatch sales considering the feedback?? It's just VW capitalising on a great package.

[Booth11]

I know it's nothing new but imo the lines of distinction between models are becoming increasingly blurred.  Both the R and the GTI should stand alone as the performance VW hatches rather than just becoming one of a number of variants, which is the way it's going.  Ultimately it dilutes the 'brand'.

I hope to god they never produce a GTI estate

I reckon you could get a S4 black edition avant for not much more money when you factor in broker deals

If I wanted a fast estate S4 or a xdrive 3 series, or buy a year old RS4

The Golf estate is no looker
