No, really!  It has air conditioning, four doors, a cargo area,

What is a "cargo area"? The volume in the back? I suppose in the UK we'd
still call that the boot (what you call the trunk).

Nope. It doesn't have a trunk/boot. US "station wagon" == UK "estate", and
thus, trunkless (some wagons have a small storage bin beneath the floor of the
cargo area, though...

Hope that helps. Knowing it's an estate (estate wagon?), what do you call the
part in back behind the seats, then?

I was aware that estate = station wagon. I suppose the other name we use is
just "the back". "The back" is common when describing the cargo area in vans
too. I suppose by cargo area I thought he could have meant those little
ridges some estates have on the roof to stengthen it for loading. I've never
had a station wagon/estate, so I can't claim to be an expert.

BTW, Chris, what would the postage to the UK on this gem be?  :-) Just in case.
