    Just interesting that we call them station wagons instead of shooting breaks. Even custom one-off Corvette or Mustang examples.
    In both cases, catagorized by the jobs they perform; ours perceived as utiltarian if not egalitarian, theirs more for leisurely pursuits of the moneyed class.
    Curious that. Maybe that could be a reason why estates still sell very well in Europe. They don't carry that stigma of utilitarian car for practical purposes, at least not to the extent it does in the US.

    We've even got wagons that aren't really practical and that in some cases have smaller boot than their saloon versions. And yet we still buy them, even if we don't have to carry many things around, just because we prefer them. I personally like estates quite a lot.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Buying a wagon= European classiness.
    I'd buy a wagon, just not this one.
