A bit dated (slightly), but the S6 Avant loses to the Merc E53 AMG Estate...
Good read though for a comparo: https://www.pistonheads.com/features...3-estate/40762

No hate. I'm not a fan of that ass either. Makes me think of a Kardashian with a line about 100 Sailors try to boar...Ah, never mind. You get it.

^ Of course. I think this would have sold well in the USA. Limited number though.

There are simply too few shooting brakes nowadays, and one Dutch company is out to fix that for Porsche fans everywhere. Fontys Hogeschool Eindhoven Motorsport Engineering head Erik Groenendijk de Laat had the idea to turn an early 986-generation Porsche Boxster into this wonderful little hatchback, and it's the greatest thing we've seen in a long time.
A mid-engine car may sound like an insane starting point for a shooting brake, but early Boxsters are affordable, plentiful and well-balanced. Some even claim that the midship Porsches are more fun to drive than the 911, and the 986's flat-six engine is a dearly missed sound from today's lower-spec 718 Boxsters. Since the Boxster is a convertible, the chassis was already stiff enough to handle the modifications involved in making it a hatchback.

I want to like it, but the back and the roofline looks goofy to me.

First I've ever seen one with the bug-eyes & wipers. Interesting.
Not sure on the avocado green, though

It is pretty interesting to see how the car design has changed over the decades.. the front bumper used to be just a bumper... now it is part of the design with real vents, fake vents lines and cut outs.

It'd be close but I think I would take the Porsche Panamera RS Sport Turismo over the Audi RS6 Avant...
