When it comes to the cars we drive, Canadians would rather be a little more European (www.thestar.com)

I'd rather drive a decent size hatchback (not "hot hatch") or an estate/combo/touring/stationwagon/wtfyouwannacallit over any SUV.
An A5 (hatchback/sportback) and Laguna hatchback were the two most convenient cars I've driven before coming to Canada and I couldn't find a reasonably priced alternative, also they happened to be the most fuel efficient at the time despite their engines sizes, thanks to the type of fuel (it wouldn't be the case now, so you know exactly what I'm talking about).

    Kia recently came out with a K4 Hatchback, and it's really good.

    And I'm disappointed that they didn't put an electric motor and battery in it. I absolutely agree with you, it looks great and the damn EV4 looks like shit in comparison (not from all angles but yea...)

    Did you know the EV4 is a sedan? Like what were they trying to achieve here? Minimal rear visibility??? Jeez.

    But yes, I am also disappointed they didn't make a PHEV version of the K4 Hatchback, it would work perfectly for my needs. I did get the Turbo version in top spec though, which is a nice consolation prize.
