Birth of the full-size five door hatchback

Just read on Foxnews that Honda has come out with a “a relatively new class: the full-size, 5-door hatchback“.  This relatively new class will look something like this:

Pretty crazy huh?  Two doors on each side, and ONE IN THE BACK!  This kind of reminds me of a car that was around when I was smaller:

1986 Chrysler town and country 

Now, that was the last of its kind.  Although it had all kinds of hip descriptions, it was basically a station wagon.

The station wagon itself has been around for a while.  Your dad drove one most likely.  For that matter, my dad drove one when I was little.

For that matter, his dad probably drove one as well.

For that matter, not only did his uncle possibly drive one:

But his dad may have as well.

Ya see, the full-size five door hatchback has been around since about 1923.  I really don’t get the point of this article.  decent little car by appearances.  But, stressing this ain’t your daddy’s station wagon won’t change the fact you’re still driving a station wagon.
