Mercedes C220 CDI estate (2007) review 19 September 2007 by Ged Maxwell Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called?

Bentley Continental GT Speed (2007) review Price: £137,500 04 September 2007 by Chris Chilton GT Speed? I guess the clue is in the title... Right. Think of the Speed as a big GT GTi.
