THAT'S what I'm talking about! We hatch owners can get things into our cars that the sedan crowd can't (or can, but not without some trouble). What about big tv's, bigger lawn equipment, bikes, etc, etc, etc? I could not live with a sedan - I need at least a hatch, if not a wagon.

* Looks are subjective - I think the sedan is good-looking, but the hatch is better.
* The sedan may be lighter, but by just a few pounds...nothing that anyone would notice in daily driving.
* All things being equal (engine size, gearing, etc), the sedan is probably more aerodynamic, thus better mpg. But I can't see it making a HUGE difference.
