Stationwagon, estate or touring body types is a rarity on South African roads but some of them can prove to be an appreciating asset in the future.

Who else had forgotten the Vauxhall Insignia VXR estate existed?
A recent VXR Sports Tourer spot got us thinking. Did anyone actually buy one?

WATCH | A day in the life of Audi's record-breaking, high-performance RS2 Avant
• The RS2 Avant was exported to SA in very limited numbers.
• It is powered by a turbocharged 2.2-litre engine that makes 232kW and 410Nm.
• Audi currently has a number of RS models on sale locally.
There are cars with certain letters and numbers that evoke a different type of emotion when they are uttered or seen in the flesh.
The likes of BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen have their own high-performance models in M, AMG and GTI guise, but Audi takes everything up a notch with the exclusive RS badge.
The RS 3 Sportback is currently the cheapest high-performance model for sale in SA, with a starting price of R1 056 000. The sacred badge also finds itself on models like the Q3, Q8, TT, 4, 5, 6, 7 in Avant, Coupe and Sportback body shapes.
Audi and Porsche made a baby
The RS2 only saw a year on the production line from 1994-1995, and at the time, Audi lacked a fully-fledged high-performance department. This is where the partnership with Porsche comes to fruition.
Components like the brakes, suspension, and seats are Porsche-specific, forming part of the brand's tag-team partnership.
Where the RS 2 is concerned, it was exported to Mzansi in minimal numbers and made use of a turbocharged 2.2-litre engine that produces 232kW and 400Nm. It also employed the famous Quattro system that channelled power to all four wheels.

Mercedes-Benz hints at uncertain future for estate models
Chief operating officer admits company is also looking at cabriolet and coupe models in face of EV transformation
Mercedes-Benz’s chief operating officer, Markus Schäfer, has said that the firm is looking into the future of estate cars and other model niches, as electrification shifts the balance of traditional market sectors.
In an interview at the Munich motor show, Schäfer admitted that with “estate cars, we have to see. This market is under pressure as more and more customers move to SUVs, and there are just a few markets left for estates and station wagons. So we have to see how the volumes are developing. They’re technically absolutely possible – that wouldn’t be a problem – but it’s more a question of how this niche is developing. I know the UK is a great market for station wagons.”
Previously, other sources at Mercedes-Benz have indicated to Autocar that with the rise of increasingly efficient SUVs, especially more aerodynamic electric ones that ride lower than traditional ICE varieties, the estate car market is being squeezed.
Europe is now one of the few places in the global market where touring versions are being bought in big numbers, as China and the US favour their higher-riding cousins.
