It was swarb's suggestion. No associations were intended.

Vehicle Sales April 2016 YTD
VW GTi - 7085
VW Golf-R - 1851
Hyundai Veloster - 9258
Mini Cooper Hardtop 2 door -4422
Scion TC - 3838
Scion FR-S 2414
Subaru BRZ - 1677

Based on the above my guess is that most hot hatches easily outsell the twins combined in the U.S. ....
Agreed!

Can the shooting brake be considered a hot hatch?

Hot hatches are usually associated with powerful 4 cylinder FI or 6cylinder engines in small hatchback bodies.

Key phrase there being powerful engine.
