What do you think? earlier i got into a little arguement with my friend over the existance of 2dr family cars.

It basically started with the original charger. Which i feel is basically a big sporty 2dr family car.

The friend works as a car salesmen and says i'm dead wrong, but if i am then what was/is the cutlass, 2dr civic, mark Viii, and a few others.

 

How about the mustang. Seems like a family car to me. Going back, how about a 55-57 chevy. They had the four door, but the two doors had just as much room and still family oriented. I think there are plenty two door family cars, the monte carlo is another one. Older Impalas were family marketed also.

 

Define "family" car for me
In the early 60's most of what later ended up as muscle cars started as economy 2dr. family cars.

 

well thats pretty much where the arguement started. And he believes i'm dead wrong.

 

IMHO it just needs to be an economical car with ample room for kids....is it not?

 

the easy term is, any car with a back seat, any car that can hold 4 or more.

a pick up truck has only a front 2 or front bench seat, the el camino is also a
2 front seat or front bench seat, the corvette is a front 2 seat.
these are not classified as family cars.
now the one that really pushes the line is porsche, it does come with a back seat
that has no room in the back for people, or even a childs car seat.
