No, it's just a different way of saying the same thing. I'd guess it's rather British in nature. There are many works like that:
Dampers = Shocks/Struts
Aquaplane = Hydroplane
Petrol = Gasoline
Extractors = Headers
Backlight = Rear window
Boot = Trunk
Bonnet = Hood
Honda = Sucks (I guess that one's universal) :right:

I like how in europe a 4-door is a saloon, and a 2-door with a trunk is a sedan. Kinda tricky....

Thats not universal, its only in America where you get all the crappy models. But thats Hondas fault, blame it on the ignorance of the Market.

Yank - American
Saloon - Sedan
Sports car - (is there an american term??? oh yeah) Corvette
Primera - Soccer mum's car
Van - Truck
Truck - Van
Utillity - Truck
Truck - Semi

Funny, all the soccer mums drive Honduhs here. They're like little lemmings marching towards a cliff. :D
Ah, I'm just messing with you. I wondered how long it would take you to respond to my post. :D

Yeah, it doesn't seem right to call a car a sedan when you can put it in the back of a chevy silverado. J/K
