Unfortunately that the type of thinking that the majority of Americans have here, and why we don't get a lot of hot hatches and power wagons here. Would love to have wagons like the CTS-V wagon from other companies stateside.

That's one wagon I'd love to have in my garage. CTS-V wagon and the Magnum SRT8. The only thing I don't like about them is the length. I had a 98 Taurus wagon in college, and while it was extremely practical it was just too long.

Thats why I've always liked hatch backs, and the render above... Well hell I'd buy 2

3-door hatch for the win!
I love my FR-S but i have days when i really miss the function of my old '04 Matrix...
an FR-S hatch would help 90% of the time.

I like it. I could use more storage capacity, but I would want more power before I increased the weight.

PLEASE DO IT.

My GF wants my car, but we need a more practical car in the family... She can get an FRS hatch with the paddles and I'll keep my 6mt coupe

Best garage ever? Quite possibly.

Between the WRX STI hatch vs. sedan, the weight goes up like 1 lb, iirc.

I would give up one more pound to get that much more cargo s

Some of the old timers can back me up on this, but I've being doing hatch and vert for a long time (since MkI). Here are some of the old designs til got to that ver.

Also FYI, before Ferrari release FF, I've already made that hatch ver and a lot of members were stating Ferrari designers copy my designed and made it into FF... so don't get that part mixed up. I didn't copy FF!

MkI Hatch - Chopped w Impreza hatch rear
MkI ver - Try to do 350 Roaster design vert
Mk1.5 Hatch aka FTI - Joke as FT86 & STI
& rest are MkIII w different styles (hatch, vert, targa).

Again, all those photos can be found in photoshopped sections that proves that I didn't when I claims.
WOW! Your renders are freaking amazing. You should work with Tada-San to come up with something like this lol.

You never know. Someone asked him about the Supra on Monday and he just smiled and said, "AH, Supra."

I like the FR-S the way it is. Maybe a T-top would be nice but no thanks to a wagon version.

To be fair, the Juke's compensating for its lack of beauty and its "headlights".
