Okay,
Now I understand... Chevrolet sold a 'station wagon' called the Kingswood
Estate. I owned one of these magnificent cars. It had a big block and would
haul anything - the entire estate I guess! And it always got the same
mileage - 9. It didn't matter if you ran it fully loaded with camping gear
and people at 75mph, or empty 'round town. Since the car was lees than
pretty on the outside, sorta a rust color, and huge, it got a lot of respect
from the econo-boxes on the road. It was affectionately called "The
BattleStar".
I always wondered where the Estate came from. Now I know.
What an education we get on this list!

Seems like Volvo was advertising something about one of their turbo wagons a
few years ago. Don't know if it was the fastest, but I know they were
claiming that it would really haul #&$%.

Now that I think we understand the item we are talking about, who does own
the fastest vehicle of the type?
