This topic exist in Wiki, named as car classification, if you do search, you will find it as well as me. But I was not born in English country, so still many questions remained.

In the classification list I didn't see some nomenclature like ven, pillar, wagon, etc.I searched google by typing pillar into search bar, the images emerged to me were nothing to do with vehicle.

Therefor, how do you categorize vehicles, I mean car as well, by all types of car included. For example, some kind of car with plafond foldable, and some sort of vehicle merely two door but never been called as sport car.

I think there are terminology for all such special car or say the carS with mutual character.

Would you help me to be clear?

BTW, could you possibly share some cutaways of vehicle with annotations like this
If you are willing to share, please make the annotations can be seen clearly.
thanks in advance.
