Camioneta Guayín


Explanation:
Nací y crecí en México y a las "station wagons" se les conoce como camioneta guayín.
Un ejemplo:
"... originó, ya hay modelos como esta lujosa guayín que comienzan a explorar -con éxito ... se hizo oficial cuando fue una camioneta, y no un coche, el modelo más ..."

Puede ver una foto de una guayín en la siguiente página mexicana:
