Even than I'm only at 109 if I went to two door.[/quote]

The hatch isn't a door. Shooting Brake does not a 3S make.

Math in my head = I fail Doh!

Stealth:
3,-10,20,25,10,0,20,5,25,10,-10,5 = 103

VR4:
3,-10,20,25,10,0,20,1,10,10 = 89

Than what is it? It's not a hood or trunk lid and every other car that has a hatch or similar (vans/stationwagons/etc.) it's considered a door. You can get into the car through it. And mind clearing up that second sentence a bit :p

A F430 is a two door, an MR-2 is a two door, a 3/S is not a two door.

In most instances, the 3S is considered a 2-door vehicle. They even clarified it by the shooting brake mention. A shooting brake is indeed a 2-door car, but with large hatch area. Think station wagon. Google it (try shooting break as well). You'll see.

I've always seen the 3s Classified as Coupe which by definition makes it a 2 door car
