Is the 370z a hatchback, liftback, or fastback?

Ricochet48 · 05-26-2010, 06:25 PM

I call my RSX a sporty hatchback and would call the Z a sports car... that has a hatchback

My vote is for calling it a fastback just because the fastback article linked lists the original Z S30 body as a fastback and we all want to consider the 370z part of that heritage, am I right?

REAR HATCH OPENER SWITCH
The rear hatch can be opened by pushing the
rear hatch opener switch when the Intelligent
Key is within the operating range of the rear
hatch lock/unlock function regardless of the
inside lock knob position. (See “INTELLIGENT
KEY SYSTEM” earlier in this section.)
To close the rear hatch, push it down securely.

3-17 of your owners manual, if you call something a hatch more then 3 times in the same paragraph and its on the back...

I'm gunna call mine a sports car.

No-one is saying that there isn't a rear hatch. Read the OP's links to the Wikipedia definitions and you'll see what he's asking about...

And I think we all agree that the 370Z is a sports car...

Wikipedia isn't the end all be all defining reference,its just one more source of information,try Google,370z liftback (About 5,630 search results),and 370z fastback (About 20,800 search results),370z Hatchback (About 471,000 search results),(About 11,700,000 search results) a 370z Coupe.

All sarcasm aside, 2 Models are available to buy a Coupe and a Roadster,the car manufacturer doesn't refer to it as a hatchback,liftback or fastback,only a Coupe or a Roadster.

Nissan does sell a VERSA Hatchback though, but its not quite as sporty as the Z, but I'm sure all the Versa owners would disagree.
