In Melbourne, Australia, they're called Toorak Tractors, in reference to the affluent suburb where they're common.
Just like Hausfrauenpanzer, with bonus alliteration!

Interesting -- in England we have the equivalent "Chelsea tractor".

Soccer-mom SUV is probably the equivalent, no?

House-wife tank is so much better.

I was kind of replying to both - though I guess that wasn't fully apparent.

Doesn't have quite the same easy association with a lumbering slab of unwieldy armour. Perhaps picture a Panzer IV rolling down the high street, rolling over a bicycle or two, before going right through the supermarket wall.

The German has such a more enjoyable roll coming off the tongue though.
