Re: No alternative
Agree totally.
Citroen are running out the C5, and will probably not replace it, offering up the 3008 based DS5 instead.
Alfa may or may not be bringing out a large saloon and estate at some point, depending on the news.
Honda have basically replaced the unloved and underrated Accord with the Civic estate and some sort of 4x4.
Toyota may or may not be getting rid of the Avensis.
So, of the little alternatives, it leaves:
- Skoda Superb - VW parts bin, but all of those taxi drivers can't be wrong...
- Volvo V70 - The closest alternative to the 9-5 estate.
- Mazda 6 - I reckon this vaguely looks Jaguar-ish, from a company regarded by many as the Japanese Alfa...
- Hyundai i40 - If you can live with the badge.
- Mondeo / Insignia - The former is huge and available for buttons, getting replaced next year. The Insignia estate boot is slightly smaller.
