New to the forum, wondering whether a well specced 2.0D estate might be the thing to go for when my company Audi A4 estate is up for change in July.

It will be at the Geneva motorshow in March so should be on sale before July.

I'm sure someone (my dealer maybe?) said it was to be launched in July at the same time/event as the vRS.

That's a shame - it is annoying that the estate versions always seem to lag behind by months. A VW lady told me that the Mk7 Golf estate might be a year away.

according to Auto.cz ,new Octavia combi will be relesed at Geneva motorshow in March.

My Mazda 6 is up for renewal in Sept and if the VRS estate gets launched in time to make onto my list then it may be a contender. The new 6 is the front runner so far though.

If that image is accurate, count me in!!

It's super looking.

Below is a spy shot of the actual car, so yes that photohop^^ is pretty accurate:

Not sure if this pic will work but I think the estate (wagon) as we call it, looks fantastic. I have a current model vRS wagon which I really like, but looks wise I'm not in love with it, but this new one looks great.

And a panoramic roof!

RHD testing...

A diesel VRS DSG estate was likely my next point of call (3 years time).

But at the best part of what is likely to be the best part of £29k it might have to be a manual hatch.

That doesn't look great in those pics! Yellow doesn't suit it.
