A quick off topic question for the Brits on the board
Why do you call four door cars Saloons? Also, what the hell is a Shooting Break?

Because that's what they are. Seriously, I have absolutely no idea. They have always been saloons and as the manufacturers continue to market them as such I guess they always will be.
A shooting break (or brake) is a two door estate / station wagon / touring. Sort of a sporting estate, like an M coupe. A more detailed description can be found at: http://www.pestalozzi.net/sb/index.html
