I've never seen a Pagoda Shooting Brake before.  I like it.

Years ago in Darmstadt I saw a BMW 3.0S (Bavaria in the US) that had been made into a station wagon.  Looked very good.

Cool indeed.
I would not mind a pagoda van. I'd be the coolest plumber on the planet.

The rear shot is definitely the best angle. Horrendous nose and the side view is also not that great.
