I saw an episodde of the Soprano's yearssss ago, the one where Edie Falco(sp?) and the her friend went to Paris (I believe), they're at a cafe and almost every car on the street is a hatchback.... huge difference in Europe. |
The VW Golf set a trend, and everyone followed it.
Roads are narrow in Europe and fuel is expensive. You want something small and yet roomy and the hatchback fits the bill. There are sedans as well, but when I lived in High Wycombe (UK) for a while, the only big minivans were driven by the Americans from the Airforce base nearby, probably brought over for them in a C-5.
