I take personal issue with my car being referred to as a "hatchback." A "hatchback" applies to CRXs and Civics with vertically positioned rear point of ingress/egress. A "hatchback" is synonymous with 1000 pound POS import.
Toyota calls my model a "liftback" because the rear cargo port is at a 45 degree angle. It is only used as a hatch for getting people in and out of the car when two people are going to be... laying in back with the seats down (and using the so-perfectly placed rear window to look at the heavens afterward). And perhaps once I have added a few horse under the hood, I might demand my car be referred to as domestics were a time ago, that is a "fastback." --------------------  |

No one is saying anything about verts because verts are coupes with a fold down roof... They are not a totally different body design.
