Bring on the hatch!
Bring BMW in on the project!

Yea, I'm definitely more a fan of a targa top and hatch more so than the soft top convertible.

A hatch like old school Civics (EG/EK) and the BMW M Coupes are hot... soft tops are cool with the top down, but not my cup of tea...

The M-Coupe is a shooting brake style thing. Love the look of them, especially with super, super wide haunch to roof ratio.

Personally I'd love to see a lift-back style hatch, would make loading those 4 track day wheels even easier.

Not like your chop has been out since late 2009/early 2010 or anything...

Thanks, Jalopnik! Credit thieves around the world appreciate your support!

This is what Jason Torchinsky made.

I didn't want to say anything bad but...it does look like it was drawn by a drunk guy. The back proportions need some work.

Daggnabbit, where did I put my copies of the different hatches? Name: sad.gif

It looks pretty ordinary. But I'd hoon that everyday, what a practical little monster! And it wouldn't add too much weight, either. Twelve kilos or so for hatch over boot and associated extra frame, maybe a little more, about 3-4kg of extra glass and no extra wheelbase.

EDIT; Also you could easily tip the back seats upright a little to give more legroom with the raised roof at the back... That'd increase costs though as the seat squabs would move backwards (and the associated metal would have to as well)

Sorry for my previous Wall'o'Texts, I'm a bit of a design nerd sometimes.

A lot of people ask me if it's a liftback. Gotta agreed that it looks that way, and I think I would've preferred it that way too... but oh well, lol.
