A station wagon is an automobile with a body style variant of a sedan/saloon with its roof extended rearward over a shared passenger/cargo volume with access at the back via a third or fifth door, instead of a trunk lid. In the past few years, an older and somewhat curious kind of the automobile has experienced something of resurgence, specifically the hot station wagon. A two-door version, known as the shooting brake, is also getting popular. Boom in hot station wagons and shooting brakes .
