The automotive universe remains a very weird and subjective place.

Even if both sedan and hatchback versions have the same lenght, headroom and most other dimensions are also identical, at least in 3rd-world countries such as Brazil the sedan is perceived as more prestigious even though in the end it may remain actually cheaper to manufacture. Ain't it quite stupid?
