That's why I keep using my GM Card - on the hope that someday GM may again have a car I want to buy.

So is the Vibe a 4-door hatch, a 5-door or a wagon (I know we have hashed this out too many times)?

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.

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.
