(I haven't seen it, but I've been told) that research indicates the American auto market does not support the hatchback-style well at all.
Not a fan of hatchbacks myself (unless you consider gen 4 to be a hatch) so I see where you're coming from, but if cars like CR-Z and GTI can move enough units to retain their production rights, why not Cruze? Granted, of course that the Cruze hatch would be competing against the original. I'm sure that cuts its chances in half at least.
