What on earth has happened to the term 'shooting brake.?
This terminology always referred to what we now call the estate car, The estate car was a shooting brake, the shooting brake was the estate car.
I look now at the very latest 'shooting brake' and it looks like a saloon car without a boot. BUT.... The roofline slopes down terribly. can someone 6'6" sit in comfort in the back seat of the latest CLS? I have no idea but the slope looks awful.
Quick look at a very nice shooting brake which we would now call an estate car. Note how rear seat passengers do not have that awful sloping roof! Each to their own and respect to those that own a modern 'shooting brake' or estate car
