I wish we'd get some more of these Euro econoboxes. They are sporty, fun to drive, and yet practical at the same time.

That's not going to happen till this country gets over its SUV/penis extension fascination.

It didn't even happen during the hatchback run up of the late 80's when the GTI's and Civics were running supreme. I know that Renault and Peuguot aren't coming to our shores soon.

There are Spanish, German and Japanese boxes which are very hot.

I wish it was cheaper and easier to get vehicles from Europe. I'd kill for a Panda or a Fiat 500.

Hatchbacks have never been popular here. Why, I don't know.
I'd happily buy a hatchback that has good road manners and can take a corner well. Unfortunatly, the US has latched onto a "bigger is better" mentality. Because of this, the major players won't invest in hot hatches. Leaves a major gap in the lineups.
