Default Tow Car for the Roadster.

Hi all im going to be swapping the Merc for a tow car of some kind. Im thinking of 3 cars and would like to see what you think

Stagea RS4 - Straight 6 single turbo 4wd 240-250ish bhp(same donor i used for my roadster )
Legnum VR4 Type-S - 2.5l V6 Twin turbos 280bhp... wooooo! 4wd Looks the bomb!
Scooby Legacy GTB (facelift) - 2l flat 4 Twin turbo 280bhp Scooby image problems?

Those are the 3 im thinking about at the moment. I am leaning towards the VR4 at the moment as i will also be using it for work and image counts for a lot =( Stagea is a bit dull in stock form and the GTB has a bit of the Rude Boy image.
Let me know what you think!

Was in the same position myself a few months back, had a Citroen C5 Diesel I wanted to replace, then was informed that it's actually a perfect tow car.

So I gave it to the wife, sold her car and bought myself an Alfa Romeo!
