I was actually going to go custom-chassis on this... Plus, a wagon would not gain me any usable space over a sedan. I wouldn't quite fill out said Sunbird's trunk with my current needs. Though, I may go the hatchback route.

Also, I'm going to try to get as close to a tear-drop as possible, and a hatchback actually takes the closest to it.
