When I was a teenager, NOBODY drove a 4dr sedan unless it was their parents car!!! and........2dr Coupes were better than 2 dr sedans!!! Then came 2dr hardtops (circa 1954-55) and they became the hot ticket.

Guess it stuck, because we still prefer the LB. A sedan is a sedan. Not having any kids also helps, although our daughter survived riding on the shelf behind the seats in our '74 Alfa Spider - grossly illegal today!

Exactly. To me, sedan = stodgy.

I'll second your second! Only had 1 4-door car which I drove for over 10 years. The only time I used the back doors was when the front doors were frozen shut. Hope to NEVER have more than 3 doors again!

COME on boss. He only said that he thinks sedan's are ugly, thats his buisness. it sounds like you are the one with a bit of a problem if someone having a negative opinion about a car design is worth being enemies with him

reading all of these posts really makes me miss my civic hatchback. i made the unnatural jump of going from a civic hatch to a sienna van, skipping sedans and station wagons altogether (amazing what having a child can do to ya..). with regards to the hatch vs sedan question, it shouldnt really matter since you're getting a great car no matter the choice. it really does boil down to personal preference in the looks category. we absolutely love hatchbacks. we hope to pass down this love to our kids, so when they've all reached driving age, we envision nothing but hatchbacks in our garage and driveway, with the exception of our sienna. i was very reluctant at first, but after having the driven the sienna for 3 months now, i absolutely love that vehicle as well (has every creature comfort we could ever need!). my wife now wants to implement some of our van's features into her ordered yaris liftback (nav system, heated seats, electrochromic mirror, etc). damn toyota for making such great vehicles...
