Remember the 92-95 Honda Civic hatchback? I know Murilee does. How about an Elantra GT 3-door?
There’s no word on if we’ll get this car Stateside, but Europeans will be able to buy it, in the form of the Hyundai i30. It’s been a long time since we’ve had a 3-door hatchback in this segment, but unfortunately there’s not many takers for this kind of product anymore, what with hatchbacks being equated with poverty and all that fun stuff.

Hmm... 5 doors becomes 3 doors. How is that "50 percent fewer doors"?
HOLY SMOKES....that car is sexy time!
I'm sorry guys; this was in the official press release. Allan Rushforth, Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Hyundai Motor Europe, said: “The New Generation i30 three-door has been conceived solely for Europe (...)" No word on AWD Elantra diesel wagons with manuals either.
Blobular transportation appliance, now available in smaller package. Young men with Tapout shirts and Nike visors may buy one of these, lower it, put a Folgers can on the exhaust, and cover it with a smattering of stickers meant to increase speed and cornering. Wait, no, they're still doing that to circa 90s Hondas. Everyone else knows that a small hatch needs five doors.
