I take personal issue with my car being referred to as a "hatchback." A "hatchback" applies to CRXs and Civics with vertically positioned rear point of ingress/egress. A "hatchback" is synonymous with 1000 pound POS import.
Toyota calls my model a "liftback" because the rear cargo port is at a 45 degree angle. It is only used as a hatch for getting people in and out of the car when two people are going to be... laying in back with the seats down (and using the so-perfectly placed rear window to look at the heavens afterward). And perhaps once I have added a few horse under the hood, I might demand my car be referred to as domestics were a time ago, that is a "fastback." -------------------- ![]() |

I dont care what mine is called. Hatch, lift, "hey, thats not a trunk?", etc. But the vertically positioned hatch's should go back to their real names.... wagons. lol
oh and sphinx... coupes are sexy but hatches look soooo much better... but lets not get into another forum battle ![]() |
