Uh...Pro, how do you consider a Coupe to be a notch or a vert? I was always under the impression that it was "Coupe or Convertable" and then the Hatch would be the redheaded step sister of the bunch. (so to say)

just wondering...I thought it had to have a hard top to be considered a coupe.

Because they are. How would you consider them not. What's your definition of a coupe? Think about it, the only difference between the two is the roof. The car is the exact same shape.

Yeah, thats what I ment, I always thought that the term "Coupe" refered to a hard top car.
like i said, I always thought "Coupe or Convertable"

Not to mention when ever I read stuff its always

LX Hatch
LX Coupe
LX Convertable
GT Hatch
GT Convertable


I'm not saying I don't see your point.
But when your talking about weight you can't group the notch and vert together, since they are on opposit ends of the weight spectrum.
