What does "shooting brakes" mean? Is it another way of saying "station wagon" or something?

Anyways, my favourite wagon conversion:

bone · December 2nd, 2004, 7:55 AM

BMW only made 4-door versions of their E30 estates

zenon · December 2nd, 2004, 7:59 AM

Ya, Bone explained the BMW 3-door wagon in this thread: http://gear.viper007bond.com/forum/v...=1680&start=20.

Agh. That's one big post of horrible looking cars...

If I had to pick one out of those it propably would be the Audi Quattro. Apart from the bootlid it's rather OK.

That Gardner Douglas thingie looks pretty... shall we say interesting, too. I have seen worse designs...

Mercedes-Benz never made an S-Class wagon, but as I can remember BINZ did.

Jostyrostelli · December 2nd, 2004, 12:49 PM

stationwagon..that's the word 8)

andyhui01 · December 2nd, 2004, 12:54 PM

when you say I drive a wagon... it doesn't make you feel like your 50... unlike Estate... makes you sound like you are driving a funeral car

jasonchiu · December 2nd, 2004, 1:00 PM

so shooting brake is station wagon?

some of these cars are such a waste. so ugly.....

why would u want a estate aston?!!?1 what a fucking waste

Jostyrostelli · December 2nd, 2004, 1:04 PM

Cause you can say you have a car nobody else has

Viggen · December 3rd, 2004, 1:42 AM

Nearly all of these are pretty ugly, and look more like a design afterthought rather then designed from the ground-up. But I don't really consider the Saab 99 to be a "shooting brake" (more like a "fastback"-type design), and that'll be the one I'd choose from all these, or either the '55 Chevy Nomad.
