With how tiny trunk lids are they look like a much better option. Hell the new Civic looks like a liftback but isn't.

>What happened to liftbacks
Lots of american cars stopped lifting up the rear window because that weakened rear collision safety requirements. With increased requirements, manufacturers reduced the rear window visibility in order to have the rear windshield part of the body instead of a large lifted door. The trunk lid still opens with a low threshold. It certainly is useful to have that low rear threshold when carrying long things such as lumber or a long PVC pipe. It also makes it much easier to get groceries and cargo in and out of the car. The only thing I don't like is the reduced visibility thru the rear window.

Ironically, the only way I could get search results to pull up a Supra with the liftback open is by searching for trunk.

Reengineered =/= rebadged

The original Lada (VAZ-2101) was very different from the Fiat it was derived from. Thicker steel, rear drums, different (albeit still Fiat) engine, longer travel springs etc

Slavsquat representing, Audi A7 looks like shit and I don't agree that a car has to be a coupe or sedan to look good
But nice assumption, almost accurate

don't you slavsquats buy like 80% sedans even down to fucking subcompacts because they're seen as more respectable or something?

The C3 had no trunk lid. It had a shadow trunk where the roof panels could be stored, but the only way to access it was a slot behind the seats. Seriously.
