I just realized that we all need to stop talking about the possibility of a hybrid. They'll see it as buzz and it will just make them want to do it more.

Shooting brake with a hybrid system. Sure, make a nice nimble grand tourer. That's fine, just make sure I can get my BRZ as is right now in the future.

the current use by marketing of the term 'shooting brake' really roils my loins.
that being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a 2 door hatch version of this car, I don't think it would look all that awesome though. certainly the artists rendering I've seen looks not very good. |

No worse than the term "dry carbon"

They can butcher the English language all they want since you guys do the same regardless.

Some marketing guy decides that shooting brake sounds more mysterious than hatchback. I also get the sale illogical desire to punch kittens in the face when someone calls my 08 sti a hatchback. |

What would you call your '08 STI? A trunk less sedan?

What's wrong with dry carbon? I thought it was the easiest way to describe prepreg carbon composite as opposed to "wet carbon".. where it's basically just a bunch of epoxy, maybe some fiberglass or kevlar and some carbon weave on the top layer.. What's a better term?

I see a 2 door hatch back. Why does it need another term? Does shooting brake refer to RWD? Does it refer to a long hood. It is just a stupid non descriptive term.
It like calling something like an X6, "oh that is a flying popscile" |

Agreed, shooting brake makes me think of nothing. I think "Clown Shoe" is more appropriate for 2 door hatches with long hoods, but we all obviously see why they didn't coin that one.
