Yeah, probably true...maybe we should call all
non-MG-convertibles "cabriolets"?

Well...some earlier British "station wagons" (Anglias,
Cortinas, etc.) were "Estate Saloons" I believe, and
VW called the Type 3 and 4 wagons "Variants", so go
figure!
They should have called the ZT-T a 'shooting brake' - that is my favorite
Engllish automotive term.... Still not sure how they came up with that one!
