What's the difference? I see people talking about notchbacks and others talking about hatchbacks, how do you tell which is which?

[Red_LX]

A hatchback is a......hatchback.

A notchback is a coupe, and has a trunk.

[tim_lemmy]

ok, i've never heard a coupe called a notchback before... thanks for clarifying

[Red_LX]

I don't think they're called "notchbacks" anywhere except in the Fox Mustang world.

I don't even know where that term came from to be honest.

[riceslayer302]

cuz instead of the straightish looking hatch... the body slants down, thus creating a "notch" in the "hatch" look?

[glowstang93]

Its always fun saying notchback to a non-mustang person. They have no clue what one is.

Both are sweet, i would love to find a 4 cylinder version of either one near me.

Not far from my apartment there is a 2.3L auto notch sitting beside a repair shop and has been there for months...wondering if they'd sell it cheap because I'm tempted to get it!

I love my notch!

[fastford91]

nachos oh wait notch's! still

I think the official label is a 2 door sedan isn't it? I'm pretty sure that's what my insurance labels it as.

[Red_LX]

You sure it's not 2 door coupe?

That's what it should be, my Tempo and Thunderbird are both listed like that.

A "sedan" is generally a four door.

I like the notchbacks better. They are lighter. Thet are also harder to find.

That's what I was told when I asked.

Mine too. Sedan is a 4 door in my book but apparently Ford thought otherwise.

[Blue Notch]

"2-Door Sedan"
