Gazelles and Silvias both were available as both coupes and hatches for the S110 and S12 generations...  I can find pictures of a Gazelle coupe or a Silvia hatch.  Gazelle was just a slightly differently trimmed model.

The last Gazelles were sold around '86, I think.. halfway through the S12 generation for model year '87 the S12 become the "New Silvia" like the one in the photo and switched from FJ20ET to CA18DET power (or VG30E in the US 200SX).  In the S13, the CA18DET was a carryover, except for a revised intake manifold and added intercooler.

In Europe they actually did use the 180SX name for some S110s... the badges say "Silvia 180SX".
