Against the grain with everybody else, I like it and would prefer it over the regular coupe only because of its added (potential) functionality. I found that people find the car's looks to be polarizing in itself, so having to sacrifice some "pretty" points for some utility is fine with me.

I think they would be able to move the seats back with that extra headroom.

It isn't real, even says this in the article. I would not buy this version of the hatch.

The hatch version ichitaka05 made however, I would harvest numerous organs from my own body without anesthetics to afford.

Anyways, I really need to put the water mark on that concept photo that mark who did it. lol
HEY EVERYBODY ICHI DID THIS



That should do for now

As for the OP

I like it, too bad weight distribution will be all messed up.

Leave it to Subi and their WRX hatches.

Hey now, most compacts only have 33-34" of rear legroom now and the Twins have just a hair under 30" of leg room.

You would be surprised how big of a difference two inches make.

Meh, it's not that bad. Still fairly light for a compact car and most of the extra weight it going in the back. It's a nice idea anyway.
