Which CAR body style would you rather drive?

[Camino LS6]

K

I like wagons for function

1 They have all the ease of use that a sedan has

2 They can haul a greater volume

3 They (in full size guise) can swallow a 4x8 sheet of plywood & tow 6000 lbs

4 They handle better than a SUV & get better MPG also plus are lighter

5 can haul 8-9 passengers

6 Look great lowered

7 Haul my canoe on roof & tow my camper

8 They don't wallow around like mini vans

9 They morph into cool panel wagons

10 cost of development is lower than adding a new SUV to the portfolio

Agreed 100%

Wagons make sense and look good doing it.

A sedan ranks dead last in my list of preferred bodystyles.

Wagons are all well and good. The poll asked for *car* body styles, though, and here come the trucks and SUVs...

I'm just nitpicking though.

[Camino LS6]

I based my answers on the CAR restriction as well.

If all bodystyles were included, I'd bump the sedan up a notch - to a position just above the minivan.

[Lamar]

We know, Camino, we know.

[Camino LS6]

We know, Camino, we know.

Just wanted to be clear.

Seriously though, a choice of multiple bodystyles for each model is what I want to see.

Yeah me to the whole Impala/Monte Carlo - Camrey/Solara ... is silly.

[Drew Dowdell]

We should re-do this poll with a lot more car bodystyles made available. Kammback anyone? Shooting brake?

1. Sedan

2. Coupe

3. Wagon

1. Coupe

2. Convertible

3. Sedan

4. Wagon

Like others have said, a car purchase for me is one that elicits emotion - practicality takes a back seat. That's what trucks are for. Nothing compares to the sleek sexy shape that only a 2dr coupe can offer. The 4dr cars being marketed as "4 door coupes" all just seem off to me. A well done hardtop convertible would be nirvana for me.

Depending on the wagon's silhouette, it could flip-flop with the sedan. I'll let out a little secret: I've had a passing fancy or two about getting a Magnum wagon as a bike/Home Depot hauler.

I'm sick to death of sedans.

Same here ... but that's what I ended up for a winter beater. At least it is RWD .

I voted coupe....

I'm still a fan of sedans since my first 5 cars have been sedans, but since having my Riviera I would have to say I prefer a coupe. It's just so much more pleasing to the eye, and much easier to get in and out of. Growing up my preference was about 50/50 between a sedan and a coupe, I've never been a fan of hatchbacks or convertibles ( save for a select few ).

[§carlet §wordfish]

I have no preference. The number of doors doesn't usually affect my feelings of the overall shape of the car.

If I were shown a general design for the shape of a car, but it had no cutlines to define the body panels, hood, doors, etc., and it were a shape that I found overall very attractive, I would most likely find it attractive whether it had two or four doors.

sounds good

but what could we call one of these?

A concept.

I have the opposite problem w/ 2drs..find them much harder to get in and out of..it seems I rarely have the width to open the door fully. Long doors are a PITA in about 90% of my usual parking circumstances. And it's a pain to put dogs and stuff in the back seat w/ a 2dr.

That is true when it comes to parking and being able to fully open the doors, that is the downside to a coupe's long doors, I was speaking in terms of when you can actually open the doors however, luckily I rarely use the backseats in my car asides from just tossing stuff over my shoulder into the back.
