Yoss Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 My old Škoda brochures call the Favorit and Felicia estates a Combi. That's never seemed to catch on over here. We get lots of Americanisms but very few Europeanisms. AnnoyingPentium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fabia saloon (oh what a charming in an ugly sort of way thing that was) was referred to as the 'sedan'. The latter being something I'd associate as an 'Americanism'.

Boghog Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 8 hours ago, Rod/b said: Amen. When i’m President my first decree shall be that anyone (including marketing people at car companies) referring to a two-door saloon as a coupe will be placed on a register and forced to wear a metre tall, luminous yellow dunce cone on their stupid fucking head whenever they are in public. They will be barred from taking paid employment and / or receiving any form of state or charitable aid. Similar sanctions will be placed upon anyone referring to an estate car as a shooting brake or a longroof. In the latter case, they will also be required to shave their hair off and have the word CUNT tattooed on their stupid fucking head in case their dunce hat falls off. Can I add calling a Land Rover a 'Jeep' or a 'Truck' to the list. Just call it what it is and you will probably get more money for it.

Those white wall tyre things that get fitted into the tyre are the absolute worst.

Maybe it's because I appreciated the Skoda money-save of carrying over hatchback tailgate onto estate thereby saving tooling costs for a separate tailgate. Then they got all tied up in knots and produced the Superb MK2, which was a saloon and a hatchback at the same time. I still don't know what niche that was trying to fill, but it's certainly novel.

I thought that was a big no-no The same way people used to MoT hot rods. Clip on wings, attain certificate, remove wings. From my limited understanding of the process it seems that quite a lot of SVA/IVA tested vehicles have easily-removable mods to get through the test, which makes sense.

M'coli Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Surely the defining feature of a coupé is that it has panels and bodywork that don't fit anything else in the range, with the exception being the Triumph Herald coupé? For example, the (I think) the BMW e30 3-series was never offered as a 2-door saloon, but no panels were i interchangeable with the 4-door saloon.
