Funny how we have completely different perspectives. Because I can't fit a set of golf clubs in the Porsche, it has less practicality than a Supra for this avid golfer.Wow, a hatchback rwd with 30% less interior cargo space then a mid engined porsche??? Ouch
The cayman is a hatch, too. It has two trunks yet it cannot fit big items.Funny how we have completely different perspectives. Because I can't fit a set of golf clubs in the Porsche, it has less practicality than a Supra for this avid golfer.
Also, describing the Supra as a "hatchback" feels like an effort to be snitty. [thank you AG Barr] A hatchback implies a Golf-style vehicle. The most-accurate description would be a sports car, just like the Porsche.
I'm not an expert but if we're being technical, the correct word is Fastback not Hatchback. I've spent a decent amount of time looking for a 1st gen Celica to ignore this lol.I can see that, but it remains to be seen if a full set of clubs fit in the Supra.
I also question how those numbers are calculated. I can see the mk5 having more storage volume over the GT86, but even with the front and rear trunks of the Cayman, I have trouble envisioning it having more being that the motor is right behind the front seats. I wonder if they are counting headroom or some BS.
Of course it's a sports car, hatchback is just he body style qualifier. Versus coupe or hatchback, like the old Celicas. Hatchbacks are awesome.
I hope it doesn't melt like the is300.It's also covered in the strangest soft rubber material. I have no idea why, but its a different material to the rest of the dash. maybe to be softer on your knees if you hit it.
It's not a matter of opinion. It's two different things when it comes to being a liftback or a hatchback. Angle of 30° or less when closed is classified as a liftback. Anything more is classified as a hatchback.Yeah Toyota uses liftback, as it is in my quote. But, if it has a hatch, then I call it a hatchback. We tend to latch onto the most popular terms for things so people know WTF we're talking about. Hence why most refer to the mk4's removable roof as a Targa top (Porsche's term actually) vs Sport Roof which is what Toyota calls it.
