Although only a few cars have been made in the style throughout history, the “shooting break” may be making a small comeback. The shooting break vehicle style takes a basic 2-door sports coupe and adds a squared-off hatchback trunk.<\/p>\n

4WheelsNews.com reports that BMW<\/a> has revealed plans for a shooting break variant of its upcoming 6-Series. Its chief rival, Mercedes-Benz<\/a>, has also revealed a concept version dubbed the CLS Shooting Break.<\/p>\n

Now, Mercedes is rumored to be putting its vehicle into production. The car will reportedly be called the CLC and will be slotted between the C-Class sedan and wagon.<\/p>\n

According to the news source, the origin of the “shooting break” term came from carriages that were used to break in horses and transport goods used for hunting. The cars are somewhat popular with the small segment of luxury drivers who like the sleek two-door coupe style but need the extra space for golf bags or other cargo. Mercedes’ design may break from tradition by adding two more doors, making it closer to a station wagon.<\/p>\n

Fans of this particular style may want to search for a used BMW Z3 Coupe, a classic version of the shooting break style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
