Profiled the 6 hatch and wagon.. In the magazine they also showed a picture of my exact car, a lapis hatch with beige leather.. I'm kinda pissed because now I'll be seeing a lot of body doubles.. It just looked really good in the magazine! I haven't seen my exact clone yet because I never see one with beige leather!!

 

[Garfinkle]

So what did they say about it?

So what did they say about it?

they called it a cure for the boring family hauler.

Ha - I like the fact that I own a 003 Lapis Blue - Grey Leather is no longer an option available with an LB exterior. Although I'd happily give that 'privilege' up to own a hatch

And I love the fact that I own a 04 lapis blue V6 MTX loaded black leather M6. The hatch that looks like a sedan

 

[Da 6]

yep hatch looks like sedan....best hatch design evAr!

 

[genericuser]

I was kickin' a few terms around for it, it's not a sedan, it's not a hatchback.. but its a satchback!

 

[Da 6]

5 door sedan would'n be politicly correct...would it?

 

[genericuser]

that's what they used to call the saab 9000's.. that term doesn't bother me.. satchback just has a nice ring to it, don't you think?

 

[jersey_emt]

satchback

sedatch

5-door

Whatever...it's hard to tell the difference between the sedan and hatch, until you see the rear wiper

 

[genericuser]

I've also founda few more subtle changes.. the rear lift gate is higher, and the spoiler doesn't have a brake light on it. the brake light is incorporated into the liftgate.

 

[Da 6]

too bad they havn't made a houpe (3-door) version or just a 2 door convertable Could you imagine the 6 being a convertable?


also add the bright ass volcanic red

 

[genericuser]

it would look like a sebring on steroids.

 

[Da 6]

I was thinking sebring when I said that...lol

 

[Necessity]

Back seats have proper headresets, no 3rd window on the sides.

 

[Da 6]

jdm gets a center headrest! WTF!
