“Coupe-like SUV” feels like an oxymoron. Where’s the utility in a coupe? And when do we get back to normal cars?
Because you can’t use the words “wagon” or “hatchback” in American advertising.
Hatchback is just a body type, wagon is admittwdly shit sounding but we have always used the term etate. SUVs only came into populer use here with the Tucson.
SUVs suck, everyone thinks they are a yank in them. Ford Ranger are the worst.
…but we have always used the term etate.
As a foreigner I was not aware of that. Will add to my vocabulary.
Exactly. It is a rebrand of hatchbacks. Which is fine because hatchbacks are great.
Hatchbacks are traditionally smaller vehicles. These modern behemoths are huge. Based on the design, the Hyundai Ionic 5 looks like it should be the size of a traditional small Golf, but it’s larger than a Volvo station wagon because “SUV”. We need the smaller vehicles back and not redefine everything as having to be oversized.
