As you might probably know from TopGear:
"estate" is perfectly british english, whereas "station wagon" is for US/AUS/CAN.

Yeah, nice 2400 lb cars with 124hp engines that will literally run forever so long as you keep oil in them (someone decided to save 2 dollars on ever car and not put oil drainback holes in the pistons so the oiling rings coke up with oil and every saturn on stock pistons burns oil). And they're un-dentable thanks to the plastic.

Actually they wern't, they remained the best dealerships around. They were originally independant then purchased by GM. Their high quality and low price was why GM has now ended the entire Saturn line :(

Maybe I am wrong, but isn't that volve technically a shooting brake, and not a wagon?

Well yes, but then does some thing technically go from being a shooting brake to a station wagon/estate....
