dbug, I love those Jags, there are a few round here that make me drool   :-*

Sizewise, how do they compare with the Omega?

Bigger - wider and longer.

Still got both Elites - saloon and Estate, which are up for sale - need to clear my drive!!  Also got 03 plate replacement 2.6 V6 Omega Estate - these Estates are still one of the most spaceous on the roads - more difficult to find a sensible replacement for these.

My old Merc has a similar carrying capacity,self levelling as well ! :y

Guess you've hit the nail on the head mate - most later Estates are smaller than the Omega - unfortunately the big Volvos on the second hand market are usually very high mileage - so its not easy to get a fairy recent Estate with same load carrying capacity (with similar dimensions - to fit dog cages etc) as the Omega.

True enough,most of the newer estates are all swoopy curves and rooflines which doesn't lend itself to big and spacious

E series Merc is the only estate that I know of that has a similar load carrying capacity.
