It is called stationwagon in Norway also But in Sweden an estate

Since I've had two Fiat 'estates' and they were both Mareas then I'm happy with the 'Weekend' nomenclature.
That Bravo/GP MPV looks interesting.

I'd agree with the "Weekend", or BMW's "Touring" would seem appropriate. Station Wagon brings to mind a wallowey wood-sided yank tank, with a couple of steers in the back, driven by a couple of cowboys to Brokeback Mountain.

Yes. Moro photos needed. Here´s the old one:

I'd pick up on 2 points there.
1. Why would the partnership between FIAT and Chrysler make any difference to the potential future of the Bravo Weekend.
2. Fiat would shoot themselves in the foot releasing a 149 Sportwagon which would directly compete with the 159 Sportwagon.

The Alfa 159 SW is not a big seller as well....
Maybe Fiat hopes a fresh design, smaller in size and with down sized, eco friendlier engines will boost sales up....???

They don't have to get big sales of 159 sportwagon - it's a high price item. Plus I'm so going to buy one as a next car - or a Mazza... whichever I can afford when it comes to it!
No, I'm thinking of:You're thinking of a shooting brake.

You're thinking of a shooting brake.
This actually looks better and makes more sense than Bravo SW...I really hope the Bravo SW image is a fake. I wouldn't proudly call myself an Italian auto designer if I take the normal Bravo, stretch it with an inch or two, change the rear small window and call it a new SW...

Doblo is (designed as) a van, Bravo SW an estate, big difference, imo.
2 big dogs need loads of space though which the doblo has and you still have your 5 sears. Also uses the 1.9JTD engine so performance is nearly on par and easily tuned if that's your thing.
As for sheps I have a plastic boot tray that lifts out for a quick wash to get dog hairs off leaving rest of the car clean and tidy. Even the biggest shep could stand upright with about 2feet in height left, I have had a shep,freezer,toolbox in the boot alone easily.
Functionality over appearance I admit but having a shep in back of a punto was a nightmare especially when it appears in your rear view mirror....literally!
What car are you using now?
