In Europe car makers have, for some years, been creating more evocative ways to jazz up the name in order to sell you an estate car (think you probably call them station wagons?).

There have been many derivatives, Shooting Brake, I think, is a Mercedes moniker, Sports Tourer is another from BMW, Jaguar calls them Sportbrakes, Alfa uses Sportwagon etc etc.

Yep we call them station wagons. I looked at the photos and thought I was in the vicinity of them being estate cars but I couldn't make the leap to what "shooting brake" even means let alone how it relates to estate cars?  I even have been spending the past hour trying to see if it was cockney rhyming slang or something LOL

Greenpeace is right. We need to ban certain types of plastic that are harming the environment.
