Without a doubt, sedans sell better than hatchbacks in the USA. (Unless you lift the hatchback and call it a CUV ) I just like hatchbacks and wagons so I'm sad anytime one is discontinued.

The cheap Versa Sedan is a single spec without any options offered. Nissan create the spec so they could say they offered the cheapest new car in the USA. If you move up one level to the car most people will buy, the difference is much less. ($500 to $1000)
