what's the difference? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #7519 11 posts Started by Shigexile
hey guys, i always wondered whats the difference between a hatchback and a coup? And is there a liftback version too (or is that the coup?). Can you put hatchback bodykits on a coup or will there be modifications to be made in order to fit perfectly?

Well, for starters, a couple has a trunk, and a hatchback has, well, a hatch. Liftback is the "proper" term for hatchback. As far as hatchback body kits, they will fit, except the rear pieces, because the coupe rear bumper is longer. As far as subtle differences go, the coupe is more stable due to the trunk, and a tad lighter...also due to the trunk.

When I first started looking for Celi's I think it's hatch all the way...the coupes look goofy to me.

i once thought the copue looked goofy but.. hey there are a lot less coupes then HB... so they make them a lot more special..

coupes are goofy...hatchbacks look waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.
the USDM coupe looks a bit off in stock form. but lowered, with a nice wing it can't be beat >wink.gif>
