Whats with the hatchback craze?

[Stic-o]

iS just me, or is just about every car company coming out with a hatchback crossover thing? I mean I really like the BMW X6, but it's hit like a virus and spreading through out the industry. Are hatchbacks...(gulp) back?

 

[cybergasm]

Yea it looks that way.

Everything that is old is new again.

These vehicles are kind of the solution of getting away from gas guzzling SUVs, maximizing interior room for whatever you want to put back there, and a relatively short vehicle length for parking (think metro areas; although not a hatchback but a wagon, a Subaru Forrester has more interior volume than a Toyota Camry and the Forrester is a lot shorter than the Camry when measured bumper to bumper).

Well I guess we're not helping...when we can afford it we plan to get rid of the Volvo for a Edge.

The Edge is a really nice ride. My neighbor has one and loves it...

And yeah- everything old is new again.

All they're doing is recreating this monstrosity:

Love the edge. Somehow I convinced the Ford dealer to let me test on to run to the post office while they did something to my car. Some hatches are bad, I personally loved the mazda6 hatch because of the short trunk it had. The BMW X6 isnt too high up on my list. The Chrysler Pacifica is nice too, if it wasnt such a mommy mobile(like my 3rd gen isnt lol) I would consider it.

I love hatchbacks, the rabbit/golf was my all time fav car... but these new ones look like egg's.... BLAH

Let's not forget Ford's awesome designed hatchback

They look so happy, while picnicking in the country. Little did they know they were driving a bomb and died in a fiery crash on the way home HAHAHAHAHA...

The new Evo looks like a Cat Fish to me, I still like the year model I had.

But you're right, the rice has a lot to do with hatchbacks, the WRX STI was the first to come to mind. Did you know that Subie didn't even field a Rally Car this year. Kind of makes you go hmmmmm...
