I think a legacy looks better than both of those, they're both very boxy at the back end.
Something like an Audi S8 could be fun, or an X5 4L petrol of course or maybe the big Porsche Cayenne 4x4 think the VW version has a big petrol engine too.
If you're gona do it, you might as well do it in style and go for it big time, especially if running costs aren't an issue.

I like that evo estate. And while we're talking about bonkers estate cars how about an R34 skyline estate:

Just thought I'd update this and show you guys what I bought about a month ago.
It's in great condition with good history and standard apart from being on KW coil overs. Standard power is 450 BHP which is slightly down on my Scooby but the 560 NM of torque more than makes up for it. Handling obviously isn't as good as the Scoob but I love the the car and have done more miles in one month in the RS than the Scoob did in two years. It's meant to be my second car as was my Impreza but it's hardly ever on the drive.

It's going to cost more to run than a standard Impreza, but if you are comparing to a heavily modified car I don't think there will be too much differance. However I am prepared for major expense if the box fails as these can cost 4k to rebuild although I can remove it myself so it would be less for me. I've fitted a rear calliper which was £90 exchange not too bad and I've got a full service kit which is more than an Impreza due to twice the plugs and oil.

If you go for RS6 then buy the C6 not C5 as C5 have a Gearbox problem also RS3 is not bad too

Yea it does sound great when you floor it. I've done a lot of research before buying and although mine has had a box rebuild two years ago I'm aware it's something I may have to pay for in the future. The manual conversion is fairly simple once the parts have been sourced and there are a few boxes that fit so I have been considering this in the future. However after driving it for a month with the tiptronic, I have to say it works well and is suited to the car, I almost feel a manual box would somehow spoil the car.

C6 slightly outside my budget although while looking I did come across the odd cheap one which was only slightly over budget, but these were very high mileage cars with issues. I'd rather a nice C5 than a C6 with issues and space ship mileage. You are right about the box though but I figure it's about the same cost as an Impreza engine rebuild and about as likely to fail.

Economy is pretty poor but then it was on my Scooby too. An MRC remap with Miltec will see well over 500 BHP and a load more torque so I may go that route eventually, but it's got plenty for now.
