I came across a list of cars that are considered fastbacks including th c4 corvette which has a similar but smaller rear hatch window.

I would say yes what about you guys?

I always considered them hatchbacks.

Some fastbacks are also hatchbacks, but not all hatchbacks are fastbacks.

Hatchbacks I think have a more say cut angled swoop(if that makes sense lol) ie civic hatchbacks etc.


A fastback would have a more flat sliding like rear ie third gens corvettes, Fb mustangs etc.

If that is the case, then our 3rd Gens are Fastbacks. That's how I see them anyway, but never called them that way. I do know that the 60s Mustangs with the normal rear window and trunk deck lid is considered a notch back. That would be the case for the 1st F-Bodies, even though the 2nd Gen had a swooping down rear window and normal trunk lid, that could also be considered a Fastback. It has the same style or swooping rear window as the Mustang.

But, to be honest. I think they consider it a Fastback when the Sail Panel lines angle down towards the back. And since all of the F-Bodies have a straight vertical Sail Panel, I don't think it can be called a Fastback. Same with the Corvette. Only the glass is angled down, not the Sail Panel.

I see what you’re saying but as you can see from this list the corvette and 64 barracuda are considered fastbacks yet they to have vertical sail panels.

my malibu has a swooping back sail panel yet its definitly not a fastback.

I wouldn't call that list definitive nor is user created wiki article any kind of authority.

For instance they have the Toyota Supra listed for basically it's entire production run, when some years it was obviously a hatch back -




While the nearly same style of hackback Corolla isn't -




Nor is the Honda CRX -

Youre right about wiki.

i Agee on the Corolla too similar to the c4 corvette and the third gen it’s as if they forgot about certain cars.

Did I just login to the wrong forum? Look I don't have anything against "hot-hatchbacks" I just don't want them thrust in my face. OK? There's enough bad taste and poor judgement around here without posting a bunch of rycers.

Thirdgens are hatchbacks. That thing in the back, the 3rd door, is a hatch. Deal with it.

If yer looking fer a place to post Japanese TOYLETS, find a TOYLET forum.

Its just using other cars to backup their opinions of the third gen, so its still third gen related.

To me, the 3rd gen is a hatchback though that will certainly **** off a few grumpy old men.

I consider a Fastback pretty much the same thing as a third gen, except it has a trunk instead of a hatch.

My Focus RS is most definitely a hatchback.

I swear, sometimes you guys talk about the most mindless things.

I just don’t see the thirdgen as a hatchback the lines of the car doesnt match that of you’re typical hatchback.

"We are thirdgens considered fastbacks?"

The profile ain't got nothing to do with it. You're clearly a Wikipedia fan, take it from the wiki's mouth.






Please stop being dumb, or maybe be dumb somewhere else whe're they embrace that kinda thing. Have you heard about Facebook Groups and Youtube's comment section? They celebrate dumb.
