"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.
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.
