I wish they'd stop this. I know the term is nebulous but that's a reason to stop using it unless we can actually define what it means besides "we made something that looks wagonish but don't want to call it a wagon so we're trying far too hard to make it seem cool".
My vote is that the term is discarded entirely, but if it MUST remain in use, a "shooting brake" only applies to a 2-door car with a hatchback tail opening and a large rear end, a la Volvo 1800ES. Otherwise, if you don't want to call your wagon a wagon, please just stick to "estate".
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
