Oh, Americans actually like vehicles that happen to have a large hatch in the back, but they do not like cars that are shaped like hatchbacks. The Model S is shaped like a sports sedan. It does not look like a hatchback.
- CalChris 6y agoIt is however a hatchback. I dump my bike in the back as I have with every hatchback I've owned. You can even camp in the back. But if you prefer, you can call it a liftback.
- omgwtfbyobbq 6y agoI've been under the impression that hatchback versus lift back depends on the car's dimensions. A longer car with a shape closer to a conventional sedan would be a liftback and a shorter/boxier car with a shape closer to a traditional SUV would be a hatchback. But it is essentially the same.
- stretchcat 6y agoIf you think a hatchback doesn't look the way you expect a hatchback to look, then your expectation of what hatchbacks look like is obviously wrong and should be updated. If I had to guess, what you think of as "looks like a hatchback" is actually 'two-box' while "shaped like a sedan" is 'three-box.' Three-box hatchbacks have been around for decades though.
