Now it seems like you can easily screw yourself out of a fun to drive car if you miss one tick box.
I know the incremental cost to develop an ugly hatch from the existing LWB sedan is small, but if they just put all of their resources into getting the core product right and skipped the GT and GC and six slices of SUV on top of it, I have to think they'd have happier, more faithful customers. The current trend appears to grow customers over all other consideration and keep throwing marginally different products out there until you can't slice it any finer.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Literally, I couldn't if I tried. Complete agreement here.
