It's not a "Station Waggon" - we don't have such things in Europe.

It's an Estate Car.

(Same thing, dfferent name).

The problem is, that Americans have really odd notions of Europe, and Britain in particular.

Lots of Americans seem to think that our cars are all tiny - for decades, any Amrican TV show doing a UK episode showed people driving in the original Mini, or a 2CV, or riding on a red bus; as if that is the only way to get about.

Our cars are pretty much the same size as yours (except for the tennis court sized silly pickup trucks and 4x4s).

They just have more style.

Seriously though, that model has ALL of the optional extras - I bet that they add 50% to the list price.

I'd drive it - it looks nice.
