The hottest of Hatchbacks

[LosAngeles]

Quite possibly the hottest of all time:



The European Escort RS Turbo (how I wish they built this in America):

Couldn't send the starting post without the Escort Cosworth.

I love hatchbacks almost as much as coupes, but the only one I like that you posted is the VW. The Cleo? Ugh...

[Flybrian]

Sorry, they all look like crap. I did always think the Corsica hatch looked pretty nice for what it was.

Does my car count as a hatchback? :P

[91z4me]

I LOVE the Clio. But with the engine in the rear could you REALLY call it a hatch?

Yes, and for that matter, so does this:

NOS and z28, you beat me to it! I was just gonna point to my sig B)

What it's based on was a hatch, so it's still a hatch to me.

[LosAngeles]

Guess I better not dare make a sports sedan topic.

What makes a hatchback is THE HATCH ON THE BACK. duh.... :rolleyes:

But DUH if there is an engine back there it makes the hatch almost completely useless. That is DUH why I was asking, a moot point but still nothing to get sarcastic over. :blink:

How are you supposed to get to the engine to work on it then, the interior?

[Flybrian]

Turn down the a/c and put on some shorts, 'cause here comes the hotness!

Same way you get to it in a 911, from under the car or by dropping the cradle. I belive there is also a cover that can be moved to access the top half of the motor.

Everytime I think of hot cars I think Corsica, so for hot hatchback, I choose corsica hatchback!

I have to agree, that is the hottest hatch. I hate hatches, but I would love to own that car.

[turbo200]

I could look at that astra all day long. I also love the Focus and GTI up there. But the Clio? :huh: Well, it's not my favorite but I can see the cool in it. I think people who have a real appreciation for small cars are more likely to like hatchbacks.

dodge grand caravan :P

[LosAngeles]

Take this topic back in a serious direction from all you jokesters:

[mute]

i wasnt joking, if you can count that then it is A3 GTI Mazda Mx-3 Saab 9-2x

[Flybrian]

Negatory. Looks like a Gremlin Redux...

[LosAngeles]

I could have clapped to that a little if you said Gremlin, but to say "Pacer," you're obviously just in a hating mood, as the 205 looks noways like a Pacer.

[Flybrian]

Dude, its late and I just watched Oh God!, so step off. j/k

[Cory Wolfe]

Goddamnit... I just had typed out a post with some pics.. and then my PC f**ked up.

Anyways, the only hot hatchbacks shown in this thread are the GTI, Focus, Astra, and the Mini. The majority of them are blah, not hot. So... here's some ones that are hot.

Audi A3


Peugeot 206 RC



Ford Fiesta ST



Honda CRX




And my all time favorite 5-door hatch... the Mazda 323F

[Flybrian]

C'mon, this was hot for its day...

Nice Cutlass Salon pictures, but that car was actually a sedan...

[ocnblu]

Yeah, it had a conventional trunk lid, no hatch in the back.

[mute]

This has got to be one of the hotest small cars of our time. It's to bad they don't bring it here in full form.

[LosAngeles]

It's like someone took a New Beetle and gave it a normal front clip and extended the rear of the roof by a foot.....one can see what they were trying to do, but it still leaves me and most Americans cold.

That being said, one can bet it performs.
