The first four-door sedan-style car from Lamborghini, the Estoque, will, if it makes it to production, be taking on the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CLS, Aston Martin Rapide, and Porsche Panamera.

That 3/4 rear shot is magic! Gotta wonder about rearward visibility though - but who really cares about that.

Editors' choice

Lexus RX400h (2006)

For those craving a luxury four-wheel drive with an emphasis on luxury rather than cornering elan, then the RX400h is a good choice. It's about as much four-wheel drive as many of us will ever need, and its fuel thrift is pleasing too.
Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TDI (Golf V, 2007)

Volkswagen Golf GT Sport TSI (Golf V, 2007)

The GT Sport TSI shape-shifts easily between a relaxed cruiser and inconspicuous hot-hatch, and the 1.4-litre Twincharger engine is an engineering marvel. But the GTI is just five grand more. Decisions, decisions.
Jeep Cherokee Sport diesel (2008)

Built for serious off-roading, not just dashing up the gravel track to your favourite vineyard, the Cherokee demands too many compromises to be a city-bound family hauler.
Toyota Tarago GLi (2006)

A people mover that transports all manner of cargo with ease. Pity that it's so pricey and that many of the valuable safety features are optional extras.
