yer i get what your saying there m8, but going backwards, the chassis on the z's were initally a civic hatch, so y would u change sumat if it aint broke, granted the saloon looks more like a rover/mg, just thought when they were desining the chassis (honda) they make them to the best they can, then rover come along and slap a boot onit, so that makes me think in my opinion that the hatch is what its ment to be, where as the saloon is a added peice of boot at the back, making it heavier and more prone to fish tailing at high speed in the bends

also suberau are now in a hatch, and they have been there or there abouts in rallying for years, so y they choose the hatch and not stick with the saloon
