No.

Why would they sell the cheap stuff? Margins aren't as good. If you were a
dealer, you'd be doing the same thing. Make hay while the sun shines.
Tomorrow it might rain. Some of these dealers are run by people who
remember 1991.

Hatchback sales dropped like a rock in the early '90s. They were decidedly
uncool then.

Recently they've enjoyed a resurgence, and manufacturers are producing them
again. Station wagons are coming back too.
