| Bofferbrauer2 said: Thanks for your answers. So basically none are left. The Fiesta and Focus didn't count anyway, as those were European Fords, not American ones. The Mustang is actually one of the few American imported cars that are actually somewhat popular in Europe. For Europeans, Sedan is just a type of build for a car, along Space Wagon, Hatchback, cabriolet (convertible), coupé, and so on. But sedans are by far the most unpopular category except for luxury executive vehicles and thus definitely not synonymous with car. |
These are the same in the US. Although most of these have gone out of style. Except for space wagon I'm not familiar with this term, "station wagon" I assume is the American English equivalent.
"Car" gets used in kind of a weird way in American English.
Most of the time, it's used in a very general way - a truck, minivan, sedans, convertible are all cars in a general sense. "Yes I have a car, it's a Ford F150".
Sometimes car is used in a more specific way, which is the way that you were using it. Sedan, hatchback, convertible, coup.
