Is there a flowchart that can tell me if a given car is a wagon, hatch, shooting brake, breadvan, 5-door, or crossover? I can't keep track of all this.

It's all intuition buddy. You just know this stuff after a while.

I mean, some classifications have regulatory designations for import and insurance purposes, but other than that, it mostly comes down to what everyone else calls it.

Wagon/Estate: saloon hatchback with a long roof. Usually a 5 door but could be a three door, see: european escort mk4 3 door estate, which I wouldn't call a shooting break.

Hatch: when you open the boot/trunk you can touch back headrests, sloped back and or very small boot, see: Citroen c1, hatchback not Breadvan.

Shooting break: coupe with a long roof. Usually 2 or 2+2 seat configuration I think.

Breadvan: Back of car is roughly at a right angle to the ground, 3 door. Longish roof, unlike the Citroen c1. See, polo Breadvan.

5 door: Hatchback or estate.

Crossover: Car with big wheels and maybe higher ground clearance.

Sportback: Wagon with a short boot, but more space and less sloped roof than the hatchback version.

....I think. Feel free to correct me.

I'm no linguist but maybe the Latin to German actually means a four door version of the two door platform based on the four door version is a thing.

Gotta love the BBC, sending a crew to report on a unique looking car and then proceeds to film the entire thing from a dashcam pointed at the passengers.

Because who would want to see the exterior as it drives through traffic, right?

Hopefully you mean while you're in the car, not as a bystander clipped heavily by the rear wheel.
Still though:

Rally roadside fans are the most AI you can get if you're not actively driving a motherfucking crazy motherfucker of a car.

That's real pretty. I forgot a lot of things! Another of my favourites being the Mazda RX500. Rotary. Breadvan.







The rear light setup was designed this way so when the car was accelerating the lights would move up and up to hit the top green lights, under braking would move down to the reds kinda like a graphic EQ. Pointless but cool as poo poo.



I had no idea this existed, and now I want one.

I'm positive once many years ago I saw the Lotec C1000 based off Mercedes at a car dealership in Seattle. I looked it up once and apparently it was a one off for some Sultan or another and quite frankly I only believe it was actually real because that's such a loving no chance in hell name to accidentally misremember.
