something i've always wondered...

why are hatchback's considered doors? like when some websites classify integra's as 3 door coupes. :dunno:

I'm had to climb into my hatch a few times so I would consider it a door...

Because the entire hatch lifts up, with the rear window? vs. a trunk lid.

I don't have an answer for you, but it makes sense to me.

I bet it's the product of some arcane bureaucratic decison made by the Dept of Transportation ages ago.

Probably something stupid like they couldn't use "2door" because some software would only recognize "2door" as a coupe and a hatchback is a good bit different. So they had to come up with something new.
