Question After another car but not 100% sure as to what

Hi folks

I have a 95 WRX with very low mileage and in pretty good condition for year. I have been looking for a little while and now all is sorted I'm not sure what I want or what to do.
I've been looking for something slightly bigger, so like an estate and was thinking of a Signum 3.2 v6. Also thinking of a Range Rover or a Mercedes ML. Not my ideal cars, I must admit but I need boot space or something nice with rear folding seats. I have even been looking for another wagon (already owned 2 before) and I know the power is going to be there with the boot space I require. My main car/vehicle I have really been looking for is an American day van But its so hard in trying to get something I want for my saloon. And as I have no cash as ts all tied up in my Impreza, it makes it even harder

Are there any other cars I could look at that might fill what I would like?
Space and power but don't look sh1te and hidius

p38 ranges can have electrical gremlins , shogun is a better car really if you find a nice 99ish plate lwb

Signums are nice ! I had a 2.0t for a bit

'I have really been looking for is an American day van'.

Same idea as me.I have just bought a 1968 GMC HandiBus.The American equivalent of a classic VW camper but with a mid- mounted 307cu V8.

It's stripped out at the moment but will be a day van when it's finished.

Anyone else into or have stuff(guilty pleasures) other than Subaru's

I was thinking along the lines of a 4.0 but would need to have lpg fitted, but would consider a 2.5 td.

Never heard of them tbh.

And the day vans are about and if I had the cash then I don't think there would be a problem in getting one

Wouldn't mind either if it looked right and had lpg. Even looking at L200 warriors now.
Just could do with something practical enough now

Legacy/Outback estate with the 3.0 H6 engine? You get a lot of car for the money and the boot is huge. Impressed with ours (although we got the 2.5).
