I'd possibly say CRX, but it'd be tough to find one in good condition nowadays.

Hmmm...could be. I'm not sure if that fits into the fastback or hatchback category.
 
hahaha...my sister bought a CRX new...an 88 I think. No AC, but man did that thing LOOK cool to my midwestern "never seen a foreign car before" 13 year old mindset
she even let me drive it one night...wonder what ever happened to that car. I should see if she has the VIN anywhere

Heh heh. I will say that at least those are off for sure but I'll list 'em with an asterisk 🙂
 
Aren't all those hatchbacks? I really wouldn't call a hatchback a fastback.
Reliable also kicks out the rx-7 and the mr2 really doesn't fit. The back window on those is straight up and down.

Hmmm...I'm pretty they're fastbacks but a coupe or hatchback might have snuck in there. I will look at pictures.
 
Hmmm...

fast·back (fast'bak') n. - An automobile designed with a curving downward slope from roof to rear
coupe (koop') n. - A closed two-door automobile
hatch·back (hach'bak') n. - An automobile having a sloping back with a hinged rear door that opens upward.

So...coupes and hatchbacks are mutually exclusive because hatchbacks have that third "hinged rear door." As for the difference between a hatchback and fastback, they both have a sloping rear but a hatchback's rear opens upward.

That said, I think I'm more confused than before I looked these up 🙁
