now you're confusing me even more, lol...

[CelicaZR]

look at the back of the car.
Look at the bootlid,
can you see how they are different?

[pure_dx]

lol, i think we need better pictures?? im serious though, is it just me or is it kinda hard to tell which is which without examining it close?

[CelicaZR]

Man you must be joking!

How can you not tell the different between those two photos?
Here is a better pic of the hatchback

and here is the coupe

coupe- only a metal lid opens at the rear- classier and sexier (imo)

hatch / liftback- the glass also raises with the trunk (or boot, if you prefer)- humpty dumpty rear (imo)

they are completely different bro..... i can tell within a split second when a 6gc goes by me on the road... if it is a hatch or a coupe... i personally don't like coupes as much because i think they look too choppy and the lines dont flow as well....but that's just my 2 cents check out my profile to see a spoilerless hatch... maybe then you can tell the difference

I own both a Coupe and a Hatch at the moment, and the easiest way to tell the difference if you see a Celi on the road is:

1) taillight designs are different - reverse, brake, and signal lights are rectangular on both, but on hatch they run vertically the long way, and horizontally on coupe
2) Hatch glass is a much longer piece than on the coupe
3) The Coupe has a trunk (deck lid is longer than on the hatch)

Hope this helps clarify

if you havnt got it figured out yet with all of these pics, i dont know what to say to help you lol. by the way welcome to the site. once you get the coupe/hatch difference, theres a whole lot to learn

[pure_dx]

yeah, thanks guys.....so are you guys telling me there is no way of telling which is which except for looking at the back of the car (lights, trunk) yeah....that was my problem, because it was impossible for me to tell the difference from looking at the front or side

yes, unless you want to get really technical, b/c the length and height of the Coupe and Hatch I believe are different by an inch or two, or three

[JoKeRkId613]

and the hatch looks more like a supra to me.... lol.

the coupe we have in nz is called the curren it doesn't look as good they are even more common and alot cheaper than a celica is.
