Shouldn't we add Combi? |

Don't they use "Break" at Mercedes-Benz? Kombi is "more VW", isn't it? |

The word used for such a type of car depends on the country. 'Break' is used in France, 'Estate' in the UK, 'Station Wagon' in the US, and 'Kombi' in Germany. The word 'Kombi' is short for 'Kombinationswagen' meaning a car that is a combination of a sedan (saloon, limousine) and a van. The different makers in Germany used their special words for labeling their cars, as 'Kombi' is the type of bodywork and not a part of the name. Volkswagen uses 'Variant', Opel uses 'Caravan' (= Car and Van), Ford uses 'Turnier' and Mercedes-Benz uses 'T-Modell' (= Transporter model). The W123 Kombi (ancestor to the E-Klasse) was the first official T-Modell. The public name, which depends on the engine type and capacity, could for example be 'Mercedes-Benz E 240 T Classic' or 'Mercedes-Benz E 270 T CDI Avantgarde'. 'CDI' stands for 'Common Rail Diesel Injection', 'Classic', 'Avantgarde' or other names for the trim level. As we will be able to give this kind of information on only very few cars, let us keep the classification as it is and perhaps add 'T-Modell' in the Extra Info field. |

Audi uses "Avant", BMW "Touring", recent Toyota use "Verso". In Belgium Ford uses "Clipper", I guess it is the same for other countries. -- Last edit: 2005-11-29 21:55:06 |

Alfa Romeo uses "Sport Wagon", Lancia and Peugeot use "Station Wagon", Fiat uses "Week-End", Renault uses "Grand Tour"... Anyway, the explanation from Alexander was more than complete ;-) Thanks. -- Last edit: 2005-11-29 21:57:52 |

Peugeot only uses "SW", the full name "Station Wagon" is not really used actually. And for the 307, "SW" is the one with the panoramic roof. There is also a "307 Break" with a opaque roof. "Grandtour" is used by Renault in Belgium, but in France it is "Estate". |

question of fashion and marketing operations...'Break' appeared in France in the 60's,because it sounded better and made the gap of modernity in language with previous 'Familiale' or 'Commerciale' commonly used in the 50's...in an other hand there was the specific name given such as Domaine, Chatelaine, Marly etc...and Nevada in the 80's... Fashion! it's the art of making the new with the old isn't it?  I would add "Tourer"...that we find for Rover or MG ( ZT-T ..2nd T for Tourer) PS: Do you find nice this [W210] in the full middle of the official name? |

The W210 moved to the end of the name before you post that message  |

No, it is not. It's a facelift which came out in 2000. |
