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." -------------------- ![]() |

Convertibles aren't <i>real</i> cars, everyone knows that
![]() And I think the ability of the coupes to have a drag spoiler is a reason to like the liftbacks. Hatch is just a noun is it? Then how do little birds get out of their shells? Hmmmm? Actually, it'd be kinda cool to weld the doors on and only get in and out through the back. Sure it'd probably be illegal and you'd be screwed if you crashed... but it'd totally cut down on weight. Man wasting bored[sic] space is fulfilling! -------------------- ![]() |
