The two are almost the same.

I aligned the ground plane of the template with the bottom of the model's wheels. I would have aligned the line at the top of the template with the top of the roof, but that would result in a discontinuity in slope where the hatch ends, due to Honda's slightly sharper curvature. The similarity in ground clearance is coincidence.

The sides converge before too long, so there's no need to extend your curves beyond 60 inches or so.
