Standard hatchback designs:
Thoes are all "fastbacks" - a slowly sloped, streamlined, sporty car. My DSM, fairlady, RX-7, and Supra were all fastbacks.
Where hatches have a more vertical rear, like a minivan or SUV. Technically minivans and SUVs are hatchbacks too.

But even more so, all fastbacks are hatchbacks, because fastbacks are thought of as a subset of hatches. But so not all hatches are fastbacks.

Hmmm, I personally dig the FB tag and will refer to my baby as such as I pay the bill! When I decide to call her the "Hunch-Back" so be it as I still pay the bill. I still dig her!!!!
