Sad to say, but for the most part, America isn't really a hatchback kind of country. Sure, there are many enthusiasts out there that love hatches, but at the end of the day, the demand for hot hatches are nowhere in comparison to where they are in europe.
The only hatches that come to mind over here are the MS3, GTI, and WRX (more like a wagon though)
Over there, they get the UK CTR hatch, GTI, Focus RS, Megane' R26, VXR, Seat Leon Cupra R, etc etc..
either way I do wish ford would bring the RS here, but like stated above, it would probably tamper with other ford sales here (ie mustang).

If you're a fatass, getting in and out of a big SUV or truck is much easier than having to climb into a sedan, wagon, etc. Sad. Wagons and hatches are more popular in Europe because more of their buying public is interested in having a well handling/driving car and having utility. Streets can be much smaller and harder to park in, etc, etc 
I could go on and on. I see the models they get, automobiles and motorcycles, every year, then I look at what we get and always fill jipped.

You guys should be rioting in the streets that you aren't getting these... Another FWD, the new VW Scirocco. A real drivers car as well, they say. See them more and more in Europe on the roads these days.
