Any recommendations for a sporty-coupe with a hatch?!
I am SOOO upset that Acura doesn't even make a two door car anymore. I have a 2006 RSX. The last year they were made. Those cars sold like hot cakes. I still can't believe they got rid of that car?
IF I WERE in the market for a sporty-style HATCH BACK -- I don't know what I'd get. I guess, I'd get the Honda CivicSi (if it has a hatch). I love the Hyundai Genesis but it's not a hatchback. (The Veloser is ugly.)
The hatch is NON negotiable. I'm never going back to a regular trunk. I'm too spoiled about all the storage room of a hatch.
So any recommendations for a sporty-coupe with a hatch?!
What's your budget? New or used? If willing to go used, up to how many years/miles? Do you want a sloped-style hatchback only (as found on the RSX) or will you also consider the boxier style like the VW Golf? I'm guessing by "sporty-coupe with a hatch" you're looking more for the slope-back type design...
Think Hyundai Genesis, Mitsibshi Elclipse, or old Toyota Celica -- only with a hatch.
The Infiniti Q30 is just a concept car right now.
I plan to keep my current '06 RSX until the doors fall off. It's got 150K on it...and definitely aiming for 300k.
It's my baby so I keep it well maintained and in pristine shape. So short of a bad accident, I hope to make it.
It's just fascinating to me that the sporty hatchback is so elusive.
Like I said IF i HAD to buy now, I suppose I'd get the Honda CRZ or Civic Si (if it's a hatch).
Technically I suppose I COULD go to a luxury brand, but I'd rather not. And I' haven't seen what I'm looking for from them either.
If you're looking for late-model car with a sloped/"fastback" type of hatchback your options are pretty limited. Unfortunately the Civic Si is not among them. The only ones I can think of off-hand are the Scion tC and the ungainly Mini Coupe.
I can only hope that by the time I'm actually looking to BUY one, that kind of car is available.
Maybe Infiniti's concept Q30 will be around by then.

Not exactly the styling of my Acura RSX.
