I was also surprised to see no mention of hatchbacks ("hot hatch" if you're so inclined). They're filling a really important sedan-like role that crossovers and SUVs are too bulky to achieve.
What do you consider a hatchback? The Subaru Outback, for example, I believe is considered a crossover today, as is the Subaru Crosstrek, but both are arguably also hatchbacks.
I would agree. For subaru, the Impreza wagon would qualify. Audi A3 hatch, VW golf/GTI/R, hyundai veloster, ford fiesta, arguably the newer civics, etc.
The Outback has always been a ruggedised version of the Legacy Tourers, so it's not a pure crossover.
I think it's because hatchbacks just aren't that popular in the US. Or at least I don't see remotely as many hatchbacks in the US as I do in Europe.
Depends on where you look. The Bay Area is full of hatchbacks. And even when I was living in TX, I had two friends who had a Honda Fit when I bought mine, and Fiat 500 is pretty popular over there (even if F150 is still king).
