I have no idea but most of the people who ask me about it here in town,
refer to it as a Bus. Also, on both my registration and title, it says Bus.
I think the registration also calls it a station wagon.

And the kids usually refer to it by the name they gave it - Bartok, after
the little albino bat in the children's movie, Anastasia.
