They made a big deal about designing it as a coupe right from the start. There is a whole section about why someplace in the concept literature. They stated very clearly that they wanted a coupe instead of a hatch for the additional rigidity to weight that the coupe body has. This will be lost with a hatch.

Couldn't forget since I have never heard of it before. Not sure we ever had them here and if we did I never saw/noticed one.

Forgot to mention the M135i
So I hope they actually come through with this design.

The only concept I've seen that would make me think of buying a second 86 is the Targa top (with louvers!). I have zero interest in any of the others.

All this wagon talk has reminded me how much I wanted a CTS-V Wagon, and how disappointed I was when Cadillac discontinued it before making this model:
