You can thank all of those damn ricers with Civic's.
|
Because they do? Don't you have an Apple thread to troll in?
|
^ lol!
Also, I have heard that in quiet a few countries hatchbacks are considered a young persons car and sedans are more for the older people. |
Kick azz hatches and wagons are more Euro imo

^that is retarded

I think that it has to do with CAFE mroe then anything. It's a utility/economy thing. The manufacturers are telling people what they SHOULD want. THe vast majority of trucks and suv's are misguided choices.
|
The mazda3 and impreza line are just fabulous. The Speed 3 is the more affordable choice, and the STI is just a perfect year round car if you got the $$$$$. I wish it existed in 2004 when I got mine. A few years late, because I'd take an AWD hatch any day over a sedan. Too late, gotta live with my speed 6 for 4 years at least.
They are not riced out. If anything, I think the new STI is far tamer and less toyish then my 04 in looks. Very sleek and refined compared to the first STI in US. LOVE IT!!!!! |

So true! I must admit, even as an Evo owner, I absolutely love the fact that the desire for continued success in WRC is actually driving Subaru STi development. This video is the reason (err two reasons really) that Subaru is running a hatch in WRC going forward...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pymZt...eature=related With Atkinson, the whiny Swede and a nice hatch Subaru should be poised to compete with Ford for the manufacturer's title going forward. :Eyecrazy: :uhh: |

Yeah, poor me. The Speed 6 is a fine automobile. ;) But hey, I'm still disturbed that it took this long for these hatchbacks to get this kind of power and performance. I am so not a sedan guy, but I got pushed into it, because it's what was being made with high HP and AWD, which is what I want in a daily. I just hope this superfast hatchback thing is around in 4 years. An AWD speed 3 hatch would be nice instead of an STI to save $$$. With my luck, they disappear, and it's only sedans again in 2012. ;) |

Trucks and 4 doors try to look cool. |
I don't think the Speed3 is very ricey. In fact, you have to look closely to tell it is different than a top of the line regular 3. The STI and EVO are a bit over the top for me, but I guess the buyers want to be noticed.
|
Here's a magical thought. Some people actually need/want a trunk they can put things into that are bigger than a paperclip. They also want to go fast. I fail to see the issue here.
|
Trunk? There's a trunk with a hatch back?

I think it's safe to say that this thread blew up in the OP's face.
