Which car for carrying sheet metal?

Is there a large car which will take 8ft x 4ft sheet material into the rear?

A Pontiac Aztec was designed to, but the largest estates such as a Skoda Superb only take 2,080mm to the backs of the front seats, or 3,100 with the optional folding passenger seat, but load width is only 1,000mm between the wheel arches and obviously a lot less beside the driver.

Near perfect as a practical family estate car. Great value for money. Comfortable and quiet on the move. Huge amounts of rear legroom.
