I don't feel the need for a niche car, personally.
Before I had kids a 2+2 coupe was fine.
When the first one came along a 4 door saloon was a better bet.
Now I have two kids and a lot of clobber I have an estate
At some point I'll revert to a saloon.
No need for a soft road/off road/lifestyle type vehicle, thanks.

Triumph Man said: At a guess it would be stiffer due to lack of large opening rear end? That's usually the case - look at BTCC, they quite often used to use the saloon version rather than the hatch when they were designing the racer, there must have been a reason for it.

Love the saloon shape, although I don't really have a preference between a hatchback variant of a saloon (Ie a Mondeo hatch) and the normal saloon.
Hate most saloons derived from flat-backed hatchbacks though (ie a Focus saloon), usually look oddly proportioned.

Put your rear seats down on a number of saloons I've owned. To be honest, it's a fair point. My MG-ZT saloon has folding seats. It's ok for longish things etc, and the boot lid opens completely vertically but the fixed bulkhead below the screen, does restrict larger more square-like items. Hatchbacks are definitely more versatile . That was one thing that put me off the Saloon version of the P11 GT Primera. It had folding rears but only an oval hole in the panel behind the rear seats that restricted the load through into the cabin space. The E36 saloon had a normal rectangular gap like on the Sierra saloon
