Your car body style preference?

[sreenivass]

A sedan/ saloon with 200+ BHP and a 30+ Kgm torque will do. BTW I'd like if it is low pollution diesel plant.

BUT.. seeing the condition of traffic on Delhi roads, i gave up the idea, and instead bought a puny little hatch.

[speedzak]

Gimme a HatchBack!! Preferably a 2door one!!!

[supremeBaleno]

Same here - the smaller the better. Maybe a Smart at Tata prices.

[tushky]

hatch and sedan only

[sridhar24]

Its definitely a hatchback for me for daily use considering the traffic conditions.

[rks]

Voted for hatchback, as the practical choice given our narrow, traffic-filled, bad roads. I save lots of time driving around in my Santro on Pune, Mumbai and Pune-Mumbai roads.

[1100D]

For practicality its a hatchback as almost 99% of the time the rear end of the car is not even used. However since this poll is about choosing preferred bodystyle (preferred not always = practical) and the fact that the FASTBACK body style is not even an option chose the Estate. Interestingly what I find is that Estate received the max votes on this forum, quite a contradiction to what we find on our roads.

However, pleas include the fast back body style, which is very popular in the Europe. Like the Vectra the Mondeo (UK has a fast back version rather than our sedan one). Even the octy I guess can qualify to be a fastback one.

Ideally I like 2-dr Coupé for daily use but they aren't available in India!
So, next most practical is either Hatchback or Sedan.

PS:
What the limousine is doing here?

Sedan, hatchback & coupe have received max votes. Estate is way down.

Fast back, Notch back are all types of Sedan, according to this: Sedan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Any chauffeur-driven car would qualify as limo, need not be only stretch-limo

[shuvd]

Ideally: A coupe for me. Any RWD V8 coupe in the market would do.
Reality: Budget rules! So, am quite happy with my 1.8 Octy and as 1100d said it does look like a fastback

[planet_rocker]

i always prefer saloons/sedan. and i am in love with my my Premier Padmini!

Again, sadly none are available. And I have to think of parents who visit once in a while. So, have to settle for a sedan.

who say coup(l)e cars arent available here???
btw, are you talking about availability of coupe cars or V6 coupes.
Anyways,
Bentley Continental GT coupe. (though its 12 not 6)
and what about the porsches 911, cayman.
MB SLKs are coupe roadsters.

[balenopower]

coupe....i somehow love teh concept of just 2 doors.....being sporty yet not too flashy....the zen carbon even though a hatchback...looked really good

[shuvc]

Sedans for me .. the old fashioned wedge shaped ones.
