    Gah, I wish that was available in the US.

      I've seen loads of people on countless car forums who want the Pro_Cee'd GT imported.

      I doubt they will, though, America isn't a hatchback country.

        All the enthusiasts want all the cool hot hatches, but usually when we finally get them we can get four door only. :/

          Yeah - like the Ford Fiesta ST. Its a 3 and 5 door over here.
          But its still because America isn't a hatch country. Last I checked, the average American had this train of thought:
          Hatchback = "Cheap, crappy Euro Box"/"Not a real car"

          Can't exactly sell a lot of $38,000 hot hatchbacks with that attitude.

            This country is weird. It loves SUVs, but hates cool hatches and wagons. ;__;

            I mean, we are getting more options and four doors isn't really a dealbreaker.

            Oh well...at least affordable RWD coupes are starting to make a return.

              I still proffer hatchbacks to Coupés. If anything the ability to use a sports hatch as an everyday car is a massive part of the appeal.

                If I could only own one car, I'd go for a hatch. But, since I have utilitarian car already, I'd like to add a coupe.

                  I can only afford one car, so a hatch it is :'D
                  If I could get a Coupé it'd probably be an Audi TT.

                    I'm really wanting one of the Toyobaru twins, but a lot if competitors are in the works.

                      the GT86 based cars have really shitty interiors :c
                      I dun like them at all inside.

                      The competitors I'm really looking forward too are the Nissan IDx and Kia GT4 Stinger. The IDx is just... so much WANT.

                      I know I've just bought this Kia Pro_Cee'd GT but hot DAMN I'd part exchange it in a heartbeat to get one of those IDx cars.

                        I sat in an FR-S and it was adequate to my needs.

                        I really am curious to see how a production IDx looks. It's really working for me.

                          I really couldn't get away with any of the GT86 derived cars (FR-S =/= GT86 BTW, different interior). I just think the plastics are really low rent.
