coupe vs hatchback

i think the coupe's were target more for the US market and thats why they made them better equipped. I read somewhere that sales for hatchbacks in general in the US are significantly lower than Europe or Japan, guess thats why everywhere else the hatchbacks are better equipped. I know over here they're far more sought after anyway
It's not a minivan Amy.
It's a blingy rimmed turbocharged clown hearse.
I was just stating that the hatch opening is wider and more practical.
Like have you ever seen the trunk in a Cobalt? Freakin' huge cavernous thing. Room for four or five dead hookers. But the opening is like 1ft X 3ft. So you need to make certain that you start stuffing your dead hookers in before rigor mortis sets in.
and back on the Civic topic: Have you seen a 1st gen Civic Coupe? It looks just like the hatchback but it has this dopey little tailgate/glove compartment door thing in the back instead of having the glass lift.
Hence part of the reason that Honda made the 96-00 civic Si a coupe instead of a hatch.
But they made the CTR in the hatch.. Hatch FTW...
HATCH!
the way my school works i haveta move back and forth from michigan to jersey and vice versa every three months. if i had a coupe there would be no way i could fit all my s**t into a coupe. i pack my hatch full

Right, because different countries like different types of cars. You can find sporty five door hatches in Europe, but I don't see anyone arguing for them either.
We have a lot of 5 door hatches in the US market.
Except most of the time they are called wagons or crossover SUVs
Like the Mazda 6 has a sedan, 5 door, and (had) a wagon. The Mazda 3 is a sedan or 5 door. Mazda does not call either a hatchback for some reason.
Kia has the Spectra5 and Rio5. both called "5-doors" not hatchbacks. (and about as much fun to drive as a CR-V with a loose shifter and the parking brake on)
The Hyundai Elantra 5 door is obviously a 5 door hatch. But like Mazda, Hyundai does not call it a hatchback.
The Daewoo-zuki Reno? I don't know what the hell that is.
(besides ugly) is it a hatch or wagon? Same goes for Suzuki SX4. The Forenza wagon? obviously a wagon. Ford did make a Focus ZX5 hatchback and ZXW wagon. Both have been discontinued I think.
it sucks. i have no PS or AC. which is why we normally decide to take her car. the PS thing doesnt bother me, i can turn it easily all day, but as for AC, unless im going a mile down the road, it gets f**king hot in that car. cruising at night tho is fun, with the windows down.
How about the WRX wagon?
