A hot hatch is a hot hatch.
Why do people need to make up new categorisations for things that have been around for 30 years. Warm hatch?, WTF, Hyper hatch, LOL. Kids these days

They are pretty widely used now by journos. The twins performance was always considered in that “warm hatch” category. Veloster turbo and Fiesta ST are pretty comparable in straight line performance.

They don't call them "hatches" anymore anyway. They are all starting to call them "5 doors" which is one of the dumbest sounding terms ever.
so.... Fevered Fives?

Just like "coupe hatchbacks" have been called 3 doors since at least the 90s. This doesn't seem new..

Oh and your idea of "a while" and mine are probably plenty different anyway. The 90s was like last week not a long time ago.

Maybe it was just me, but in the 70s/80s I only thought of fastback coupes as "hatchbacks", while Golf/Rabbit type of econocars were 3- and 5-doors. And there was the occasional 5-door fast/hatchback like the Mazda 626, an underutilized cofiguration IMO!

With the size of a modern hatch, they should be called wagons instead.

This reminds me years ago I worked for a company and our delivery guy, who was super nice, happened to also be a Jehova's Witness. On the weekend one of the guys told him he.should take his cube van home with him. And, that there's several doors he can knock on it too!

Vega was just about as turd as the Pinto.
Sending astronauts to the moon all the while making aluminum 4cyl blocks that warped. Perhaps sleeves were an oversight?
