Yes sir. What are you thinking notches are the ****, aside from not being able to fit a big sub box in the trunk... The notches, are very sound system un-friendly, Take it from me.

It would be cheaper just to buy a hatch car. And you can sell your other one and make more money than you did buying the hatch (lots of people buy notchs because they are better for drag racing and people think they look cooler)

True, I think notches with nothing on them are ugly. Put a nice cowel hood, maybe a wing, and some nice rims..then they look awesome
