It all began with the Coupe!  I hate to start this but I'm bored and I like to divided today PS: I love both hatches and coupes equally. I was just thinking 1) The first Celica was a Coupe... so are the Coupes today "truer" to the original Celica concept? 2) 20 years from now, which will be more rare a 94 Coupe or a 94 Hatchback (not a GT4  )- both in great condition, and assume both are GTs? or STs? whateverDiscuss... ( and please be respectful of eachothers cars  )

Yes I do believe tha coupe is lighter but the hatch sits a little lower which helps a little. In my oppinion though, I think that the hatch handles a bit better than the coupe. I drove a coupe with the same basic suspension setup as mine and the hatch had quite a bit of a handling advantage. But again it does depend on many factors like tires, suspension, options (leather, sunroof, things that add weight), and things like that. With all of these factors in mind it is pretty dificult to compare the coupe versus the hatch in handling unless you had the exact same setup and weight.
