Not really that many compared with years past.

From what I've read on Jalopnik the Golf is going to be discontinued after this generation is done. The Toyota Corolla hatch doesn't sell well, and neither does the Mazda 3.
The Kia Rio used to have a badge-engineered sister, the Accent hatchback but that's gone, replaced by the Hyundai Venue (which has less cargo capacity than the Accent hatch).
The Hyundai Veloster is one of those rarest of rare birds on the US market, a 3-door hatch. According to Jalopnik, it's also on its way out.
And those "crossovers?" Shhhh...don't tell anybody they're hatchbacks. If they were marketed as hatchbacks, nobody would buy them either.
Back in the 1990s, everybody had a two-door or 5-door hatch. You could get a Chevy Corsica hatchback, the Camaro was a hatchback for years. I had a 1986 Dodge Lancer Turbo, and it was a 5-door hatchback.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
