>>>I don't understand what you mean by "reservation class". I know it was a station wagon. Funny thing I always wonder if I should save these or those documents after vacations. And usually, after keeping them a few months, I discard them. Now I know of a case where keeping the rental papers would be helpful :)

>In the language of American natives, the "station wagon" is what you call "karavan" - which also makes no sense, as there are no camels or horses hauling the merchandise from city to city. What they call a van (abbreviated "caravan") is what you'd call "kombi". Your coupé is called hatchback; your cabriolet is called convertible (as if it was a currency). What you call limousine is what they call a sedan (etymology unknown), and what they call a limousine is one of those long jobs with 6m between axles and a luxury salon in between, swimming pool and golf course optional.

uummh, no.
Caravan was the old model name for Opel Kombis, comparable to Ford Turnier, VW Variant and so on.
The nearest comparison for the US van till the 80ies was (Klein-)Transporter (VW Bully and larger), but those were more used for work than bipersonal parking, which is evident from the interior. Starting with Renault Eclipse a more people-usable van-similarity was seen in Europe.
Hatchback for instance the normal Mini is called - not really a coupé. Hatchback is a limousine with odd number of doors, whereas sedan is typically 4-door limousine in 3-box-design sporting a traditional trunk.

And as a US limousine is really long, they call it limo ;-))
