Or the Innocenti De Tomaso, Ritmo Abarth, and the Alfa 33 is a hatchback allthough 4 door, the Alfasud looks like it could have had a hatchback but only the Sprint coupe did, and just like the Civic CRX that apparently does not count as a hot hatch because it's too much a coupe.

@Sceneemofemboy0666 I think most brands had one, but Fiat and Renault were among the more inspired ones. The Renault was a really pretty little car with the hot hatch package suiting it very well.

This Renault was a rally homologation special, low numbers. Renault also had a real 5 turbo hatchback with something like 120HP instead of 300 and fwd and a real hatch in a practical car. Great looking car btw, Gandini design. When I was hitchhiking through France I got a ride in one by some guy hardly older than me destined to show what it could do. It could do over 205 km/h as was shown to me without asking for it. It is a very small car with a low seating position and 'communicative' suspension for that speed, don't want to know what it would be like to be passenger in the mid-engined Renault 5 Turbo. I think the Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 was considered the best. The VW Golf GTI MK1 looks a lot better than the mark II and was the trendsetter, including the GTI name but that is from a decade earlier than the Peugeot 1.9. The Volvo I don't remember as being actually on sale and the model had the image of being old and slow already, it's rear wheel drive wasn't desired.
