We're obviously talking about different things here. You can't really see what I mean by "fat butt" from a profile. You need a top/rear view, which I can't find on a quick search, but if you remember, the CRX tapers from the doors back. In profile it's a good aerodynamic roofline (also making a roomy hatch area); from the top you see that at various heights it's either straight or tapers a bit.
The "fat butt" cars I'm talking about are comparatively slender forward of the rear wheels, but then swell out over the wheel area, exactly like a certain (and to my eye, unattractive) female body type. The look's often accentuated by styling cues such as body lines that slope upwards to the rear, rear windows shorter than the front, etc.
Since most of this "fat" is over the wheels, it doesn't really make for useful trunk area.
