Break means estate car. Perhaps it derives from "shooting brake": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooting_brake -- Last edit: 2010-01-07 16:47:08 |

Same as Station Wagon, Safari, Variant, Cruiser, estate...... (even though some of those are specific to certain marques) |

Anyway, "break" is just the usual French term for estate. |

I prefer "SportCombi " myself, I just like the way it rolls off the tongue ... |

On the German market French made Estates/Variants/Wagons... are also named "Break". This goes for Renault, Peugeot, Citroen and Simca. Maybe today it's different, but from the 60ies to the 90ies it was "Break" over here, too. |
