Moral Objection, Celical Nomenclature

mr_dude View Member Profile Enthusiast Joined Feb 16, '04 From San Diego Currently Offline Reputation: 0 (0%)	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." --------------------

celicas = sexy

Liftbacks are way better, you can't fit a surf board into a sedan... I mean coupe. Though I guess when I put a strut bar in I won't be able to either, but that's beside the point. And super, if you defined an object by what you do to it, you'd be driving a drive (not a car) and wearing Nike put-your-feet-ins (instead of shoes). Oh yeah, and hatches hatch open. It's totally a verb. And another thing, liftback convertables look way better than convertables with trunks. You know what? You passenger-car drivers are so infuriating with your flippant attitudes and constant teasing of us who don't have a trunk (that makes it heavier), I'm going to go start www.6gcliftbacksonly.net. --------------------

Thats right....some of my favorite on this site are coupes (Coomer, gh0st_d0g, and some others come to mind) but others are hatches (Any GT-4 on here, and lots others that are well done).
It's all about how you use what you got and make it look sexier than they already are. Besides, i dont think i would call a Silvia the evil "S" word just cuz it has a trunk...lol.

....Or an M3, or a skyline....maybe even an MR2, since that has a trunk....
