No don't think it's a Vauxhall, the rear lights look exactly the same as my S2 estate but my headrests are solid unlike the ones in this.

It looks suspiciously like one, I would agree about the lights and I don't think anyone else makes an estate that big, Were you thinking of an Omega Dean?

the hatch is wrong for an XM but the rear boot space is right, especially with no intrusions from suspension!!

It's not an XM. It's sure its an astra estate.

Looked to big to me, but of course each model get's bigger. I would normally have rushed outside and compared it with mine but my son has it. Forgot about Johns three in the field :?
