No argument here.
Of course ugly never stopped me from buying a car!

That was me who posed that question. Just saying.
If you find the term lift back coupe confusing, add the word fastback into the description.
I owned two from another era. A '71 240Z & a '78 Honda Accord. I find almost nothing out today with a luggage space to exterior size ratio to equal them. As someone said, it's probably due to the torsional crash concerns of the body style.

Neither did I. What's with that wall that looks like the back of a back seat but isn't?
Because if I could get a 54cm racing bike in one with just the front wheel removed then that's going onto my 'regular CL search' list.
In reply to SEADave:
Oh that? That is the back seat.
That said, they don't fold, at least, that I could find.

370Z is pretty much a useless car overall, why it's sales figures have collapsed into total embarrassment levels for that company.
I think this thread has just shown us with liftbacks that they are not dead just the traditional wedge design of lift backs is.
I miss my 94 EGT.
I totally get what thd OP is saying about driving position in a liftback. I am dimensionally pretty much the same and find it very aggrevating and uncomfortable to drive a car where the pedals feel like they are directly below my knees. Then there is the issue of headroom in a lot of cases as well, compounded by the presence of a helmet.
In most liftbacks, i think the difference is the driver sits further back in relation to the front wheels than in a sedan, allowing the driver to be placed in a more reclined position while maintaining sufficient legroom. Thats actually one of the few (only?) redeaming qualities about the interior of my 4th gen Camaro. The driving position suits me ideally.
Does this count? (Not going to get that Ferrari pooch in the back of this one, though!)
more proof that new cars suck- in addition to the lack of good 2 seater hatchbacks, does anyone make a car that you can properly hang your arm out of while you drive any more?
take a fraction of the money and throw it at an older car and you can have what you want for less.
