Regarding sedans and their usefulness or lack thereof....

1. A 3-box sedan, for a given construction technique/materials will generally have a better unit stiffness. This can pay off in ride/handling/NVH or at least allow the use of less materials than a 2 box to achieve a standard.

2. A 3-box design will also generally be better from an aero standpoint. While you can get very slick with a 2-box by going with a teardrop and kamm shape, doing so compromises much of your utility. Thus with your boxy hatches (EP3, golf, etc) you do have some problems with aero vs a sedan.

Of course there is also styling but that's subjective so....
