Money don't buy taste.
I'd say the back half looks more like a Hyundai Veloster but I think you're right. Wow that's bad.

I hope none of ya'll claim to be "car guys", because if you don't know what a shooting brake is....then DAMN!

Well if I'm buying a Ferrari for practical needs then I don't think I'd buy a ferrari
I love shooting brakes. Closest I could afford is my old Volvo C30. I really wanted its predecessor (P1800 ES) but couldn't find a nice one I would pay the asking price for.
x2, why would you buy a go-fast car that you can also haul mulch in? If you are on a ferrari budget, buy a truck too.

I always heard/used the term "hot hatch". C30 being a good example of an earlier model.

Hot hatches are usually different (a hot hatch is just the perf version of a hatchback), and a shooting brake has more of the proportions of a fastback crossed with a hatchback. Usually a shooting brake is a longer car, so it's a long, lean version of a hatchback. A C30 (Polstar) is a hot hatch, stuff like the Golf GTi, Fiesta ST, Focus ST/RS, etc., also hot hatch.

Most of the time, but also RWD, or AWD. Golf R, Focus RS, Renault Clio V6, Escort Cosworth, R5 Turbo, the list goes on... I want a Clio V6 badly. Mid engine, RWD, very bad reputation for swapping ends.

Conflicted on this one, but I think "2WD conversion" sealed it...

That's actually kinda cool...the first time I saw a 2wd K5 or Ramcharger I thought it was so wrong, but they always look pretty good when they're done up as a street rod!
