hatch or coupe

[Dom86]

ok, i was having this disscussion/dissagreement with Chapl in the wrong section.

so just to clear it up and maybe educate a few people and maybe myself, is sprinter a hatch or a coupe?

lets try to discuss this with out turning it into a shit-fight please.

you may begin your argument/opinion now :2thumbs:

[DavisJD]

1 vote hatch

[Gunner]

well in australia a sprinter is a hatch, and i dont blieve ive seen a spriter coupe overeas

[v-tec]

Perhaps im an idiot, but i do beleive there is both a hatch and coupe model.

[dr1ft-pig]

mine has a hatch, says on compliance plate that it is a coupe

same with every other adm sprinter ive seen


why argue over it for... its not gonna change they way they look

[us_ae86]

both.

[riojin]

um definately both. as said earlier there are hatch (liftback) and a coupe (notchback) models. all adm ae86's are hatches

[Driftspec]

Yeah, ADM 86s are better classed as hatchbacks (because they are :P ), yet it can also be classed as a coupe, being a 2-door (as my rego states)

My view is the traditional (ADM stylez) AE86 is a hatchback coupe, whereas the notchback is purely a coupe.


Yes, thats right. I went for both for the traditional one. As I see it, it is a hatchback (because of the hatch, like similar Corollas of the day), but because it has only 2 doors it is also a coupe. It fills the criteria for both, so thats why I class it as that. The coupe has a normal boot setup, so its just a coupe.

[Gilly]

like drift spec said

in Australia they are classified as a coupe

but we on here deal in ADM and JDM so its easier just to follow the following

ADM = Hatch

JDM = Hatch and coupe (boot back)

this is the most commonly worded description of what we deal with

Maybe you are an idiot then...





...:wub: WUB JOO V-TEC






As Gilly has said, they were only sold in Australia as a 3-Door Hatch.

They were sold in other markets (USA, Japan) as both a 3-Door Hatch and a 2-Door Coupe (Notchback / Bootback)

So there you go.

adm = hatch

jdm = coupe/notchback

jdm = hatch

kouki = late model

zenki = early model

adm = aus drift machine

jdm = jap drift machine

levin = flat front

trueno = pop up lights

sr5 usdm pop up lights too

[Dom86]

i think everybody knows there are coupes and hatches, but what i was specifically talking adout was the adm shape (trueno or levin).

despite what the aus rego papers say, to my reconing a coupe is a two door sedan, boot and rear window seperate, and a hatch, boot and window in one.

As with the GT-S model. Pop ups as well. Except it bares the 4AG factory.
The SR-5 has the 4AC.

apparently if it was a hatch the insurance would be cheaper? compared to a coupe ..heard this somewhere..
