The engine cover read deck lid and when specced it has a window in it, and it lifts up , it is not fixed, if it was how would you get to the engine to work on it?

Critically, this window is not between the passenger compartment and the rest of the world and thus does not count.

ITT: Integra discussion turns to heated debate on Gallardo engine cover.

The cover isn't fixed but the rear windscreen is separate to the cover. Just look at a pic?

Is the cover even glass? It's metal on most.

I'm totally with Fox on this one (shocker). I've always known (been taught, worked it out for myself using common sense, whatever), that this is the norm:

Saloon: 4doors, boot (that opens without the rear glass). i.e. BMW E60, Vauxhall Nova Saloon,
Hatchback: 3/5 door (rear boot opens with glass). i.e. Pug 205, Pug 309, Vauxhall Nova GSi
Coupe: As Saloon, less 2 doors. i.e. 3 Series Coupe, Rover 220 Coupe, MK4 Vauxhall Astra 888

Here endeth the, ever so simple, lesson.

You can spec a glass engine cover, its very uncouth but a lot of people like it.

What separates the rear windscreen from a glass engine cover, it is still surely a window and thus...

It would still fit the definition "rear deck lid and window lift open as a unit."

People were wrong on the internet. Needs must.

What about a tank with a roof hatch, a lift up engine cover, and a back door? is that a hatchback?

fire_munki · 28 Oct 2011 at 14:37

This is making me giggle down the phone towards customers. Most entertaining.

Don't be silly. Clearly an estate convertible.

SUVs don't have roof hatches. A sunroof doesn't count.

(before you start, in this instance it is actually a hatch. A normal convertible doesn't have a hatch...)

I just looked on autotrader and out of 23 integras 22 were listed as coupes and 1 listed as a hatchback. Someone should call the 22 people and tell them they are wrong

The Supra owners on auto-trader are almost split even as to if its a hatchback or coupé, except for a couple of ones who think its a convertible lol.
