In the UK they call it a "boot," in the U.S. the area at the back of your car is a "trunk," so called because in the days of the Model T, that's what was really lashed to the back of your ride.

Looks like that thought might be coming back, at least in Europe, where more people have teeny, tiny cars that don't have a lot of storage. The Autoruck is essentially a backpack for your car, to hold stuff you can't fit in the trunk/boot. All it needs is a mesh side pocket to hold a sports bottle filled with gas.
