However, the role the 86 fits I think is more just a fun car to zip around to work and back. 95% of my driving I'm alone. That said, I have a 74 Lincoln that I can load the trunk with crap (or some people have an old truck), and my Fiancée has a 4 door Impreza that's AWD and can take 4 adults reasonably. So unless you are restricted to having like one car your car should fit a specific mission. Otherwise it ends up being good at everything and great at nothing. Just my humble opinion. I'm not saying a hatch is an SUV, but it's dragging the mission role in that direction and I don't see this as a family car. Not even a couple with a dog that wants to go the beach kind of family. It's a small sports car.

Like I have said several times now this car is not ment for you, me or most others here. It is ment to grab people like you described where they want just a little more room. This could be the perfect compromise for many. I know loads of people here have said it ruins the plan for the car but they seem to miss the point that the plan for this is not the same as the plan for the coupe. Now I could understand the concern if they said the coupe was being replaced by this since then yes the plan is ruined. Like Guff said this car will probably never get built much less replace the coupe so who cares.
