had an engine bigger than about 1.6 litres.
When the car is smaller and so also less heavy, the engine can be smaller and still give the same power (and it seems that in lots of cases engines of European car do not have to be as big as those used in US cars to still offer the same kind of performance
)As for hatchbacks, I dislike them as they are always odd looking, most are slow and most are very cramped in passenger room.
I do not see how the fact to have a hatch can make the car smaller or slower... hatchback can also be just a kind of fastback sedan.
I guess that you compare again uncomparable things, like comparing a Ford Crown Victoria with a Ford Aspire to prove that hatchback are evil
