I'll just throw this out there. Seems making fun of them doesn't affect sales.

Yes, because all hatchbacks are entry level. You really are a dopy cunt sometimes.Jay wrote:

for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
Yes you have. You may not realize it, but that idea has been marketed to us all our lives.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

You know how many of those I've seen on the road? Zero.

And don't even think about buying a BMW 1-Series.

Maybe thats what you see, when you post things like that debt add. I correlate it being cheap with the fact that it is old. Not that it has more trunk space than a sedan.Jay wrote:

Cars are still status symbols. Agree with everything else, but that's wrong. Different types of cars, sure. But some people still want that Merc over their Mondeo, even though a Mondeo is a quality car.aynrandroolz wrote:

Why do Euros like hatchbacks so much?

You like hatchbacks because you're used to them, and they've been the dominant form of car transport since you were a kid, yes?Camm wrote:
But seriously Jay if you think hatchbacks are for poor people you are an ego-sensitive imbecile.
but the biggest reason is because we don't tie our cars to our penis-size like americans do. we haven't been spoonfed the ford-esque "buy a hotrod and get the hot girl" marketing for 60 years. europe have always viewed cars simply as tools, mostly. america views cars as symbols. your own posts here are evidence of that. most of the posh/rich dudes i know here drive tiny little mini's and coupes and those tidy alfa romeos. golfs and small audis are also really popular. my first car was a bmw 1-series. we are happy with small cars. we don't feel 'poor' cause we're not all driving around in pickups trucks. we're not fucking stupid, basically. if you live in the inner city and you only use your car to get groceries, why would you want an SUV?
One of his premises was flawed though. He notes that Euros care more about the environment and fuel consumption than we do, but European regulations and taxes which were designed to limit consumption are exactly what have kept oil prices so low for so long. Those silly regulations are what allow us fat slobbering Americans to drive big SUVs, and which are now allowing the Chinese and Indians to do the same thing. It did nothing for the environment, in fact, you could make a strong argument that it actually caused more pollution to be spewed. You fucked your economies over for nothing essentially.PrivateVendetta wrote:
