There are a lot of people (mostly in NA, it seems) who reflexively call every hatch ugly. I guess. Eye of the beholder, and all. But I'll take a _better_ car over a _prettier_ car every day. And that's assuming that I even think hatches are ugly, which I don't.

The funny counterpoint to those people is that the Tesla Model S IS a 5-door hatchback! (Albeit a big one) It IS possible to make a "better" AND a "prettier" car at the same time. They aren't mutually exclusive...

  Yup, some people get pedantic and call it a "liftback", either way it's got a ton of usable storage because of it.

    It's not pedantic. Liftbacks sacrifice rear visibility and read headroom for that sedan-like shape.

As the OP and being from NA let me clarify that I am a fan of hatchbacks and even "wagons/avants" GASP! When I have the disposable income, I want an Audi S6 avant for weekend fun/repair projects. My distaste for the Bolt/Volt is my general distaste for GM styling (specifically that of Chevy) and quality issues.
