Have to disagree on that point Dave, To me the hatch is the ultimate Rally car configuration.

ie think Peugeot 205 Group B, Lancia Delta Integrale, ST165 GT-four (still one of my favourites) Peugeot 206, Citroen Xsara.... all hatches. The WRX and Evo are just about the only sedans (since the late 80s at least) in the WRC hall of fame..

Convertibles based on tim tops (ie things like the S2K and Elise are exempt) and SUVs actually are the ones that scream out 'Chick Car'
