Omgwtfbbq there’s a 118i 3-door parked behind me! So much want.

Mexican tags as expected. Still don’t get to see many of these up close even though I’m not too far from the border.

As soon as I realized it was you who posted this I was just waiting for the Mexican plates.

Think I would rather have this Mexican plated car to be honest thought.

I once nearly snapped my neck seeing a Nissan Micra.

I understand the sentiment, but I’m not really sure I agree. I’ve seen quite few on the road here and they are a pretty awkward size/shape and the build quality seems rough. I’d rather Ford just put an I6 diesel in the F-150 and also offered an actual small truck. But a diesel F150 will never happen with all the eggs in the EcoBoost basket.

To add on to that, the one Mexican-played pickup that I’ve seen in the road that I do have a huge want for some irrational reason is the Mitsubishi Triton. For some reason they do it for me in a way the Ranger doesn’t even though they are similar. Something about the Mistu seems just like a more honest work vehicle.

It looks like the perfect hatchback.

Right? It’s exactly the thing automakers refuse to give us in the States anymore.

IIRC, there are now no new 3-door hatchbacks sold in the US. Not even a Yaris or the Golf.

Mini Cooper! Ok you got me. I was actually thinking about this already tonight. The Golf, Yaris, and Accent are all dead. Does the CR-Z count? Does it matter? It’s almost dead anyway.

I don’t think it counts. It’s a 2-person liftback thing...?

Things that should be liftbacks but aren’t:

- 4-series coupe
- Accord coupe
- A5/S5
- NO

Civic coupe too. Yeah it’s weird the styling on all of those look like they should be liftbacks. Recent one people forget - the Scion tC is a liftback.

Ooh what about - 2-door Evoque? Yes it is a thing you can still buy new although I’ve never seen one not at a dealer.

Based off my local Toyota dealers 1 Yaris in inventory, the 3-door still seems to be alive, though I’m sure not for long..

Here’s what still exists in a 2-door (as in, two doors for occupants to enter through) configuration with a back seat and lifting rear glass (whether it’s vertical or not) for model year 2017, as far as I’m aware. No particular order.

Vertical glass (hatchbacks):

Toyota Yaris

Mini Hardtop

Fiat 500

Liftbacks:

Volkswagen Beetle

Audi TT

Half points, because it has more than 2 doors, but less than 4:

Hyundai Veloster (it’s a 3-door configuration, plus a liftback in a hatchback silhouette)
