Overhang, anyone?
Overhang is only one of the MINOR issues with the Lagonda

Would this be considered a shooting brake? I mean it's got that Flat back end like they are supposed to have...

Almost? The Virage/Vantage is one of my favorite Astons (it's like a British musclecar). This one looks great!

No. Just... no.
It does remind me of a thread I saw on the RX-7 Club where they shooped an FC to be a shooting brake:

The lines around the side windows are a bit questionable to me, but they're a lot better than the Jag.

I don't know anything about this except that I want it.
Seriously, I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.

Where's the line between a shooting brake and a fastback? Seems like it might be a little vague. It could be argued that the Volvo P1800 ES was a factory shooting brake.
Fastback has a sloped roof that meets the body line, but not at such an angle as a sedan would have. I would say that Volvo is the definition of a shooting brake.
This to me is a fastback:
I would call that a coupe...backseat and trunk.
Fastback.....hard slope angle all the way to the back of the car.

Has anyone else never heard the term "shooting brake" but always loved the style?

The Mustang didn't look good in that color picture I posted, but the rear 3/4 view really works!
Different cars. The red car is a (Pinto-based) Mustang II; the b/w pic is an original Mustang, modified by Intermeccanica. Great-looking car.
Both the red car Keith posted, and the b&w car are '64 1/2 - '66 Mustangs.Looking at the grill of the red one, I believe that it's a '65.
Rats. You're right, of course. I do think they're different cars, though -- in the b/w pic, the rear pillar (D-pillar?) seems more vertical than the one in front of it (C?)

So hard that the pictures I posted earlier seem to have vanished, eaten by the internets. Weird.
