I'm not sure I understand the 2 door vs 4 door analogy. I mean, I understand your intent, but I have had lots of 2 door cars raising a family of 5. Again, it all depends on your "mission". If you mean a two door econobox, or even an 86, sure I get that. But a Chevette with 4 doors, or a FR-S with 4 doors is really no more practical than if it had 2. I can think of lots of two door cars though that are perfectly fine family cars (and a ton of trucks for that matter).
Back in the day, there were lots of families that bought the car they could afford, regardless of its convenience. In fact, my family once took a 500 mile trip in a 60's VW Bug with two adult women, a 14 year old, a 12 year old, a 9 year old, an infant and a German Shepard. Of course we didn't have to worry about silly safety rules then!
