If I look back, we have nearly always had some kind of quasi-practical "little" car. Saabaru, Mini, eGolf. Even the Miata has been playing that role (rather poorly).

Something else to think about - with the way the Mazda 3 2.5T is going upscale and the Golf disappearing, there is a sweet spot for Honda to enter a more powerful and upscale trim Civic Hatchback for this new 2021 model/generation lineup. Heck, they may make it an Si hatchback in the high $20k to low $30k range with some nice power and a manual trans available. There is such a huge gap (price and power) between the Type R and the Hatchback Touring Sport that it is begging for an offering. That would be a car to keep long term.
