Just wondering if people would prefer hatchback or not...

whaap · 03-08-2010, 08:19 AM

I would prefer a 2 seater hatchback just like my old CRX.

ft86cbx · 03-08-2010, 09:20 AM

I think id prefer it as a 2+2 hatch.

I'd prefer whatever makes better sense from a performance point of view. It seems a coupe could be made stiffer because of the extra bracing behind the rear seats.

I said hatch, but only if they can use the current design. I know the current design is a standard trunk, but if it could be made into a hatch and still be stiff, then I would prefer the hatch because the hatch would make much better use of the space in the trunk and rear seats. It won't be the deal breaker for me though. I like the FT-86 as it is.

totally agree. The design remaining as close to this as possible must be a priority for any further developments between now and it's release.

I would hope for both! A trunk and a fastback option!

zbirdman777 · 03-08-2010, 01:43 PM

I like the hatch on my car, very versitile. It'd be nice to have one on the 86 but I wouldn't be crushed if it didn't have one.

zigzagz94 · 03-08-2010, 02:40 PM

For all the reasons that I've mentioned in every other thread: Hell mother f'ing yeah I want a hatch....but don't change the looks of the concept drastically.

Franisco · 03-08-2010, 04:45 PM

Not a sportback but a hatch, yes

ichitaka05 · 03-08-2010, 06:44 PM

Either works for me.... change into change, cool. kept it coupe, cool. Win win situation for me. lol

VenomRush · 03-08-2010, 07:31 PM
