Hey, all, really intrigued by this game and looking forward to being able to play it.
Anyway, I thought you might like some possible inspirations for station wagon (or as you Aussies call them, estate) bodies. Cheers!

Nice, that’ll be helpful when we come to wagons.
I hate to break it to you though, but we don’t call them Estates here
Hahahaha…
wtf is an estate
i love my station wagon
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…
Here in the US we call them…2 door station wagons.

Actually you can dent them, believe me, we own one that went through a hail storm, now we have a dimpled Saturn.

well yes, the hood, roof, and trunk lid are not plastic and will dent. But the part you actually have to worry about being dented by something that isnt an act of god is not dentable.
