opinions?

anybody got an opinion on whether they like the 91-93
coupe or the fastback style.

I really don't have any bias right now, but i'm leaning toward the coupe.

Also, anybody know where I can find some specs on both(curb weight, body dimensions, any other differences) on the two styles?

any help is appreciated guys.

Either of these will tell you specs and stuff. As far as which car looks better, fastback or coupe, that is totally up to you. You are gonna be the one driving it.

You are going to open one of the most hard argued items among 240 owners. Coupes or Fastbacks. I would look at what is in your area and take the one that is in the best condition. If there are two from either body just get the one that catches your eye the best.

I own a coupe but love the fastback just as much.

I have seen lots of threads with this aurgument, both are usually draws.

A lot more people own fastbacks in my area, yet some areas people say there are more coupes.

Fastbacks have a curvier more temporary design, coupes are more boxy and llook like a classical drifter :-).

Both have the same aftermarket so its not like a civic hatch vs. a civic coupe or 4 door.

Its all up to what you like. I love my fastbacks look, just the hatch is kind of a ***** compared to the coupe, the hatch itself I mean, mine and a few other people I know, there hatches don't open.

A temporary design? Is it going to change shape? And what the hell is a classical drifter? lol

There are actually more FBs out there than coupes. The fastbacks were the major body style. Followed by coupes and convertibles.

ya know, boxy like a hachi roku :-D

I don't care for the coupe, fastbacks are sexy, as far as temporary, try looking at the FB with S15 headlights, then try the coupe with S15 headlights.

yeah das what I thought!!!! ;-)
