When I bought my last car (used) I wanted a sedan with AWD and a manual transmission, and in order to get the latter two I had to settle for a wagon. 
Then I started my Master's program and promised myself a new car if and when I ever got done. I figured get my degree, get the raise that accompanied it and pick up a the sedan I really wanted. Considering the current economic situation, this is a good time to get a new car, so I started looking.

Now you look out at the sea of new cars and figure man, there's a ton of choices, the selection is better than ever! Yeah, if you want an SUV or a 4 door sedan. Not if you want a 2 door sedan. I went to the NADA site and searched for 2 door sedans and came up with two. 2. A Ford Focus for $18,000 and a Bentley for $341,000. Not the selection I expected..
I remember the time when pretty much every basic car came in at least 3 different iterations; 2 door sedan, 4 door sedan and a wagon. This included both foreign and domestic cars. In many cases there were even more choices, adding on the 2 door hardtop, 4 door hardtop and sometimes the all exciting fastback.
.
There are a slew of coupes, the modern day version of the fastback, but they are all their very own model and few have a sedan version. Sedans are 4 door, coupes 2 door and no longer the twain shall meet.

I don't think I'm going to buy a new car. None of the coupes (that I can afford) attract me and if I'm gonna be stuck with 4 doors, I might as well stay with the Subaru wagon. Guess I'll just have to find a '71 LTD 2 door to add to the collection instead......
