I know lets get into a big debate about hatchbacks when truth be told Nissan's most successful sporting cars have been Fastbacks and Sedans. Ya I went there and said that. The 180sx was a Fastback by Nissan's own terminology and actually by car definition. AS were and are Z cars.
Not Hatchbacks as some 240sx owners call them because the owners come from Honda's.
The Other successful RWD sports oriented cars were hmmm 510/Bluebird, Skyline, Silvia hmm Sport Sedans. Ya I know coupe owners are gonna get pissed because I am calling their two doors Sedans. Get over it again technically that is what it is.
So NIssan building a hatchback version of the IDX makes no sense whatsover. Plus since the 180sx shares more traits with the Z line it would be better off for Nissan to focus on blending the lines thereby taking it back to the original concept of the 240Z and 180sx.
In fact I can pretty much say Nissan is already thinking along those lines because of what i see them doing with the IDX which is blending the SIlvia/510 and early Skyline.
Oh and it is interesting most cars labeled Hatchbacks by manufacturers are FWD as well. So why the fuck is this discussion about Hatchbacks even happening?
Lets just get off the crack pipe concept of a Hatchback.
