<VV> degrading terminology, was: FOR SALE

A brake is a small horse-drawn buggy. A shooting brake was one that you went 
shooting in. Then people fitted engines to them.

Well, wasn't the 500 sedan the cheapest home-built car on the American 
market at one point? That seems about right then!

No, this is completely wrong, I'm afraid. A sedan is a car with 4 seats, and 
it doesn't matter if it has pillars or not (as I said elsewhere, anyway, how 
do you categorise cars like my Lancia Appia, which are pillarless with 
suicide doors but have pillars in the doors? The sides are much more open 
when they are open than any Corvair, but when the doors are closed they look 
like a regular car).

And as I said, the mistake is Chevy's - 'Sport' or not!
