It's a Passat/A6, no? Looks exactly like an A6. Not a bad thing mind, just that's what it looks like. Or a Superb

From my cursory glance at the wiki entry, it's built on the same platform as the passat but aimed at a more luxury market. Apparently it was listed as a successor to the CC.
I was in one a few months ago being used to taxi (Valuecabs or Fona) but honestly could barely differentiate between it and a passat. A bit nicer looking, but couldn't say it was any more refined or upmarket

Pretty sure it's a re-boodied Passat. They do look nice mind.
Seen a few saloons, not many but a few. Didn't know there was an estate as well.

Because it sounds more posh than "estate" 
I believe "shooting break" originally was more like a glorified pickup, designed to literally take shooters out in the countryside for a bit of sport without having to use their own legs, lol. Hence the name. Or something along those lines at least.

Given Jag called mine a Sportbrake, that leaves a very short list of sports you can do in the back of a pickup, if that is how the name originatesBecause it sounds more posh than "estate"

Seen one of these in person last year at VW Boucher, very cool cars and given most super saloons are now losing their ‘exotic’ engines it’s every bit as special as them in my book. The R engine is rapid and capable too with a map.

In my mind, a sporty shooting brake is 3 door estate/long hatch. Like a Reliant Scimitar

I'd genuinely take this over that Arteon, or a Scimitar, or a Jag even...
