It's a Hatchagon. Or a Wagonatch. I think the word is: AWESOME.I also think the US is really opening up to the hatchback market, especially if they are used to vans/SUVs but want something smaller and sportier, yet still be able to carry stuff in it.And sporty hatchbacks like the ones Subaru and Mazda make don't hurt either!And also... trunks are lame.

Quote, originally posted by lovemyraffe »So is the Vibe a 4-door hatch, a 5-door or a wagon (I know we have hashed this out too many times)?A wagon implies a sedan profile. 4-door hatchback seems appropriate but still does not convey the higher roof line and more upright seating. Marketing types would probably prefer "Compact SUV".

Don't remember where, but I read that the higher-ups at Ford originally didn't want to sell the hatchback here because they thought no one would buy them. The article mentioned that the majority of Versas sold were hatches and that Ford ought to pay attention to that fact.
