I think thesedays with the 'glorification' of cars as a source of 'freedom', hatchback models tend to be very popular with younger people. It's very much a product of the marketting. Sedans always seems to have been considered as a 'family' car, while hatchbacks are a 'personal' car. The fact there are a lot less people starting a family and more being single for a lot longer would be playing into the popularity of hatchbacks as well.

Well, everyone has their own preferences. I just prefer not to have a sunroof but here in Australia that can be a good thing when we're the country with the highest incidence of skin cancer amongst the majority of the population which is mostly white European-origin non-indigenous people. 8-) Regards, Craig. -- Craig's Saab C900 Page --> http://nospam/~c900 Sydney, NSW Australia Craig's Saab C900 Workshop -- For all Saab C900 Enthusiasts world-wide! http://www.nospam.net http://www.nospam c900nospam.apana.org.au Come and explore our site, and check out our web-forums, mailing list, etc.
