Well as far as I know, as long as it looks like it could have a regular trunk, like the Scion tC, the hatch doesn't add much weight. In general a hatchback is heavier due to the extra glass and mechanics to hold it up, but if Toyota were to maintain the body style of the FT-86, the hatch wouldn't add much weight. The advantages then of having a hatch, besides the obvious versatile trunk space (if they used fold-able rear seats), is that suspension bars can be added to the interior frame of the car. Classic examples are the EG Civics with the interior cross bars that hold onto the hatch. Then you would have a much stiffer frame then compared to a regular coupe. Besides on a personal note, hatches look much better, especially to those that plan to out fit the car with a full audio setup.
