A luxury sedan that prioritizes comfort over handling and performance. Used in a derogatory way by fans of sports sedans, which are the opposite.
Float: The objective of this type of cars is to isolate the driver from the road, which makes them feel like they "float" above it.
Boat: Because handling is not the priority, they can be hard to maneuver, a characteristic they share with actual boats.
These cars are typically preferred by older people because they offer a relaxing ride, whereas younger people prefer sport sedans for being more fun to drive.

Dad, your old Caddy is such a floatboat. When I drive it, it's hard not to fall asleep. My new Mercedes is so much better

A microcar made by Iso Autoveicoli and then produced under license by BMW in 1955-62. It had a tiny 300 cc 1 cylinder engine which made 14 PS and could take the car to 85 km/h, and it only weighed 353 kg. Its unconventional bubble shape popularized the term "bubble car" to refer to cars like it. It also had a single door placed at the front and the engine was behind the seats. In more recent times it has gained a cult following due to its funny looks and for being so radically different from anything ever seen before or since.
Guy 1: Hey, is that a BMW Isetta!?!?!?
Guy 2: Yes it is. I bought it because it is the most based car ever made.
Guy 1: I agree, it is so good it is literally God.
Guy 2: Do you want to join the Isetta Church?
Guy 1: Hell yeah.
