    I like this one a lot more than the black version.

    Much the way a Chevy Monza resembles a 365 GTC/4.

    Gives the Continental a "Gravitas" it has lacked.

    As a fan of the widely unloved 612 Scaglietti, I think this 612 Shooting Break design is an outstanding concept!

    Donv originally, and correctly, referred to it as a "shooting brake." The Wikipedia reference to a "shooting break" with respect to automobiles is erroneous and should be disregarded. So, my request is that no matter what you do, at least refer to it as a "shooting brake."

    Check: http://www.pestalozzi.net/sb/about_term.htm

    The website says:
    I love France, so I personally prefer Shooting Break as a name for the specific cars we're going to build.
    Consider Shooting Break (with two capitals) as a Vandenbrink model name, while the concept can still be called a 'shooting brake'

    Thanks, but I haven't seen it yet.
    What did they write exactly?

    612 TAKES A BREAK
    ESTATE LIVING FOR FERRARI FLAGSHIP
    There are three paragraphs descibing the car and quoting a price of 140k above the 182,952 base price.
    Your other auto designs are mentioned as is the aerodynamic stabilization system for F1 boats. The web adress is also given.
    They do question the spelling of Break though.
    The web site links to last year's story about the GTO not the current one
    Again Congrats.

    The OTO on Copart would be a good candidate for this.

    The correct nomenclature is "shooting brake."

    Oh give me a brake, the OP's native language is likely not English! :D

    As an aside, I am shocked that the mods have not corrected it (assuming they can edit any post).
