Bring Back Liftbacks

Nearly every sports car, or sporty economy car, from a thar late 70s to early nineties either was a liftback, or had a liftback variant. I don’t know how that trend died but it needs to come back.

Let’s not forget that the Corvette carried the torch for nearly 40 years. Now with the C8 being nice gone the Liftback sports car is nearly dead.

Another less exciting modern example is the Scion TC. A car almost every one forgot, I think it’s lack of success is part of the reason that the GT86 ended up a coupe. Is you ask me the Brz86 twins would be much cooler if they open up like this.

The liftback is certainly one of the reasons Z cars are so great.

The RX-7 was fabulous for that. And don’t forget the Stinger carrying the flag, although it’s not really a sports car. There is hope.

Yeah there are more 4 door liftback cars coming out, and I hope that trend continues, and eventually kills out sedans entirely

They are, they also aren’t sports cars,

The Kia kinda is, but no manual

I’m all for manuals and whatnot, but I think the time of including a manual transmission in the definition of a sports car has passed.

OMG I had no ideas Scion TCs are lift backs. I am always sad that mustang lost its liftback in 94. I would love my 95 to have a lift back instead of a tiny trunk opening!

Anything to save the car from the SUV-pocalypse.
