I want the hatch because like I said it seems more practical. As of right now if I were to shove tires into the trunk then slide them up to the center of the car... it just sounds like a messy job.

But hey. I'd like to be optimistic for a hatch. :P
AE86 was available in a coupe and a hatch. My AE86 coupe was right around 2300lbs with full interior. I'm stoked they didn't go the hatch route to improve utility, I think the compromise in chassis stiffness and weight would not have been worth it. More glass/more weight. Bigger opening, less chassis stiffness.
