So is it a hatch or regular trunk?

I think most of us have seen the BRZ pictures of clearly a trunk. But I found this in a review:

Quote:
Adding to the car’s functionality is a rear hatchback and fold flat second row seats, which Scion claims leaves enough space to fit a spare set of tires when heading to the track.

And the BRZ below...

If that Scion is a fast back it has my business, but I think... it's trunk perhasps the Reviewer just made a mistake. Because the 86 was confirmed as a trunk as well.

They like to call it a "notchback" to silence the critics.

Yeah it's a Trunk.

MotorTrend specifically said they ditched the hatchback design for stability reasons.
