coupe or hatch?, get it right people Options

[NaKeD]

G'day haha, while i was in bed at 1 am i just realise i didn't know the difference between coupe or hatch, i jump on the net, fortunately celicaZR was on so i asked him, he explain coupe look more like a sedan...
i came on the 6gc to see the difference and i still get confuse, why? because most people on 6gc reckon they got coupe celica's when they got hatch. when i compare the 2, they both look the same. Heaps of people get confuse aswell .Please please can people double check if they have coupe or hatch and change it correctly. So people like me can atleast get some sleep
thanks,

I was wondering why you couldnt tell the difference or why you were
confused?
But yea some members on here doesnt seem to know whether their car
is a coupe or a hatchback.
I saw some GT-4 listed as coupe
I dont know if it is named differently in other countries.

Hey guys, as far as im concerned you have a hatch or saloon, but as it's a two door you could call it a coupe..........

i think toyota call the hatch a fast back still anyway !!!!

[NaKeD]

personally i agree with you CelicaZR, hatch rules not that i have anything against coupe. You gotta love one thing more than the other right? haha IMO hatch is complete while coupe they just threw an extention.

Coupe has more ridged body and has better handling. Mine is a coupe, you will see the hatch the glass lifts up when you open the trunk in a coupe only the trunk does, ours is El sexy...
ps I have a coupe if you dint guess

Honestly, if one cannot tell the difference then they don't belong here. A coupe has a trunk, a hatch has a lift-back. Coupes have Curren-style tail lights, whereas the hatch has GT-4 style tail lights. From the front they look the same, but if you look at them at any other angle it is pretty clear what it is. Maybe some people are just too lazy to go and change their info.

a hatchback is the best look for the celica. all the coupes that i have seen just look odd to me.

[Celica_Fan]

those celica convertables have curren lights we don't call them celica coupes we call them curren.

With the coupes there is a more flat look towards the back area while the hatch kinda slants all the way to the back. One big way to tell is the taillights.

[boosted_K2]

different countries call it different things... its just whatever you are acustom to... i know quite a few people call them "latchbacks" and a "hatchback" is in fact a car like the 05 civic SI or a SVT Focus or a peugot 206.... its all in what you are used to.

[Celica_Fan]

The original celicas were liftbacks

[Agent21]

The 1st through 7th gen are liftback because it is a marketing ploy by Toyota. Liftback is unique to the celica other cars are hatchbacks or fastbacks. Celica and maybe the very early supra celica are the only liftbacks.

Seems like over here in Aus they aren't as picky about what is called as hatch / coupe / etc.

[lilsteeg]

now whats so special about the liftback, my firebirds hatch was exactally same as the celica, except the celica actually has a trunk under the hatch where you can put more than a pair of shoes

[Hanyo]

i remember the main confusion was between a liftback and a hatchback.

not a hatch or coupe.

[NaKeD]

I didn't know the difference because here in australia we only have hatchback

[tangcla]
