I guess I'm using trunk and hatchback interchangeably. In both cases, the " interior volume behind the passengers for the purpose of cargo" applies. My POV is practicality, so I am less worried about the semantics. Before the CRX, a 2-seat sports car was not "practical". The CRX broke that rule by essentially cutting the car off at a point where other designers would have extended the car. A normal solution would have eschewed a 2 seat car in favor of a 2+2, creating a bigger car and lower MPG. Here is what the CRX might have looked like if it was more conventional :

Wow, now that profile looks familiar to me!
OK, it's NOT EXACT, but it's not all that different either (imho). And I feel the addition of a CB Antenna is a plus!

I think we are seeing a period of time in which cars are looking more and more alike with each passing year. I noticed that even the police on the cop-chase tv shows often have no idea nowadays as too what kind of car they are chasing. For example: In the previous days my police scanner would pick up on car chases and the cop often would know exactly the car's model and year of production of a speeding car and radio it into dispatch before getting the tag #. But nowadays it's like "...in pursuit of a small blue car"
