Then again i didnt look hard |

LOL, so basically, any car with a trunk is a hatchback. go dictionary!
sure. if you go by a common language dictionary for what is essentially a very abstract, specialized area of terminology. i personally wouldn't. that's using the dictionary to tell you if anything can infact beat VTEC (nothing can). it might tell you displacement, or at least boost, but anyone that knows knows that you can't beat VTEC.

While that one may not be, Red Bull has two of them that are, and neither of them have doors. | ||

They are called that over here too. The ones that I am not sure what they are called are cars like the Mondeo 5 door, or an older example the Rover 3500. Those are completely like sedans, but they are of the fastback body style. | ||

SCREEEEEEECHING INTENSIFIES Group: Advanced Members Posts: 5,595 Member No.: 17,722 Joined: May 10th 2006 Location: Washington | Are these Sedans or Coupes?  Even though they're called Sedans... |

Plep Group: Advanced Members Posts: 4,784 Member No.: 1,079 Joined: Dec 1st 2003 Location: Update Profile | The guy with the 5-door Focus should consider himself lucky. For some reason, my Nissan Versa is considered a "minivan/crossover" by my finance company. Not too sure how a front-drive, five-door hatchback is anything like a minivan, but whatever.

It's a two door sedan, based on the interior volume. My Datsun was the same way. | ||

Troll King Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,058 Member No.: 3,757 Joined: Oct 18th 2004 Location: Ankh-Morpork | For those saying four-door cars with a rear hatch are wagons, what about the four-door Nissan March/Micra, or the four-door Peugeot 206 for example?
