The New E55 in a combi model?

Hey all.

I just wondered of there are a combi model of the new E55.
Here, where I live (Stockholm, Sweden), I have only seen the sedan model of the new E55.

Is that a wagon or estate? Germany has E55K wagons. I don't know where else in the world they will be sold.

E55 T AMG(combi) is now/will be soon(in September) available in Europe!
It will be sold in whole Europe and (i think) also in USA.
combi = estate

No plans to import the E55k wagon to the US. I'll take the 2005 Dodge Magnum SRT-8 with 5.7 V8 hemi, MBZ tranny, rear drive and AWD option for half the price. Starting around $30k:

Isn't funny that everyone in Europe knows what "combi" means?

Yeah, but where comes the word 'combi' in the first place?
Which language?

I'm not sure.
In Polish language exists "kombi" term and only that term describes cars called in US/EN "estate/wagon"- We don't use those two.
I think that "combi" is a British-english word (not US-english) and it came from it to other languages.

Sorry, the term "estate" is not used in American either, that is a British term. We say "wagon". I see the wagon referred to in Germany as "T-Modell".

We use "sedan" for 4 door cars rather than the terms "limousine" or "saloons".

The U.S. gets the above pictured Dodge Magnum and Europe gets the Chrysler 300C Touring to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show next week Sept 9, 2003:



I like it better than the W211 E-Class Estate.
