Why is it called a liftback when it's a hatchback?

You are confusing someone that works at a dealership with someone that actually knows what they are doing.

Heh, I agree. I've yet to step into a dealership where the salesperson knows more about the car than I already do. 'Cuz I research my shiznit.

Whew, ain't that the truth!

My last big brew ha was with an "expert" in the service department that didn't know the difference between fine and course thread fasteners. When I mentioned that being a machinist by trade kinda of made me feel comfy with my perception of the situation he still wanted to argue. Well, I proved him wrong and departed with things to my satisfaction. All I could think about on the way home is how many folks that didn't know better must have been screwed over by this clown over the years.
