Replacing an Astra estate?

We have an 09 Astra Estate which has to be replaced.
It is used for carrying boxes and unfortunately the new Astra is a sports estate with a sloping rear roof and the boxes won`t fit.

Is there a similar sized estate car without a sloping roof as they all now seem to be sports tourers with restricted height?

We have discounted the Berlingo etc as we don`t want a van derived car

Not at all true. The currant Astra ST may look like it has a sloping roof but it doesn't. This is merely clever styling. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/vauxhall/vauxhall-.../
