Don't dare call it a hatchback, or a Coupe, or a Sportscar eh?.

Safety first chap.

That's not a Touring...

THIS is a Touring:



Just not the BMW type, which can safely be ignored as just a fancy word meaning estate - a bit like "Villas" when applied to a large scale mass housing development.

You got me there. Never heard it called that so went looking on google images for a "Bedford Midi Coupe" and the first result was that picture on this thread.

I wonder what kind of confusion that will cause now.

Here's my RWD hatch.



That's how I sold the idea to the missus anyway...

Not quite. It wasn't always that way. Here's an expensive-but-well-looked-after 1970's BMW 2000 Touring for sale at the moment at 4 Star Classics:



Which isn't exactly exotic but is certainly a RWD hatch. Interesting how we now have the 3GT on the way- there's very little that hasn't been tried before in some form.

Available with a 5.0 V8 or an straight 6, lots of tuning options including making them handle.

I know you always post large capacity Yank cars no matter what the topic's about but fishing these out for discussion is quite an achievement, even for you!

(Meant in good humour, 300.)

When i saw the thread i immediately pictured a Lotus Sunbeam.

it might have all ready been mentioned but dont coupes usualy have frameless windows on the doors?

Some do some don't.

Most have boots but some are hatchbacks.

Basically the short ugly ones are hatchbacks and the long pretty ones are coupes.
