Not car related, I know, but I'm writing an essay, and I need to know what the name of this roof is called. I believe its combination roof, but I'm not sure.

I think you're right. Pyramid/Hip/combo, depending on the other sides.

Nice spot.

I'd call it a hipped roof, unless you are talking about the porch. Then you could call it a colonnade, or a breezeway, or a portico... There are a ton of words for this kind of thing.

Yo have a number of styles there. I would call the top part going back at a slope a hip. I'd post a pic, but Kinja is being a bitch with Chrom. GIS "hip roof".

I'm going to go with combination roof. But do a Google for "roof types." There are many images as examples.

I guess that's the best answer, since there aren't many results for "combination roof".

Too true. Just like the other kind, these will kill you just as soon as look at you.
