    I'd call it a shooting brake if the rear passenger doors weren't there, otherwise it's good looking for a stationwagon.

    This didn't transition from concept to production very nicely although it's really similar.

    If I stuck my R350 in the dryer and it shrunk, it would probably look close to this...

    Or maybe my R is the box this thing came in...

    I don't exactly hate it, but then again, I'm used to the R in the garage, so maybe my perception is off a bit...
