Those Brits

From the Economist on Renault-Nissan...

"This year, the company will launch a largish family saloon (the Fluence) and a small van (the Kangoo be bop). Next year a supermini-sized hatchback (the Zoe) and a wacky, two-seat urban runabout (the Twizy, pictured above) will come to the market."

I know what a van is and what a hatchback is. But what's a family saloon? A place where parents and children can gather to drink? And what's an urban runabout??

Also, I love the name of the van... Kangoo be bop. lol.
