Very nice reference pics
Top stuff!
That’ll be a big help to my hatchback modeling efforts
some of the above are a good example of how designs are just naturally “right” and some are just naturally bad or boring, even when talking about boxy hatchbacks, where the actual shape is very similar.

Hey i have some nice but little bit rare cars ,perhaps not too nice
Davrian MK8 or something… http://www.tuningdaily.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/0466f_32755_189725.jpg
Marauder: Its build in South Africa, I know it from Top Gear which surely best motoring program i’ve ever seen
not this
but thishttp://sitelife.aviationweek.com/ver1.0/Content/images/store/3/3/83f52567-fad1-4f8f-a3ed-c84ce2979b5f.Full.jpg
Morris Marina: Actually its ugly, But Top Gear boys keep destroying it so its hard to find nowhttp://www.virginmedia.com/images/car_4_Morris-Marina-431x300.jpg
Plymouth Sundance: Its kinda weird for me but I like it
especially this
Ford Focus RS: Best Hot Hatch ever made
http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2008/12/2009-Ford-Focus-RS.jpg
Caparo T1: Insane Car designed by ex-Brabham designer Gordon Murray
Suzuki Alto: Its just a joke
2010 Daihatsu Terios: Because its my car
Sorry for big pict, more to come
Not the cars that I like the most, but it’s some other examples of hatchback, especially for the mid-size/full size category, less usual than the small/compact category:
'83 Citröen CX
'85 Ford Scorpio
'93 Renault Safrane
http://www.histomobile.com/histomob/internet/7/16901.jpg
'08 Mercedes CLC
'11 Citroën DS5
Great stuff! lots of good hatchbacks for me to work from. (though is a Caparo T1 really a hatchback?

That’s not an 84 CRX, this is:
You’re not being completely fair. While that Kadett is bland by today standards, you chose a poverty-spec version. The Vauxhall Astra GTE / Opel Kadett GSi looks much better IMHO (doesn’t exactly set the world on fire, but it’s not tha:
While we’re at it, some old superminis:
mk1 Fiesta
http://www.kiefcars.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/fordfiestamk1.jpg
mk2 Fiesta
mk3 Fiesta
mk1 Corsa/Nova
mk2 Corsa
Renault 5 mk1

Renault 5 mk2 (SuperCinq)
http://www.renaultfive.com/R5images/renault5-TS.jpg
Peugeot 205
Fiat 127
Fiat Uno
Austin Metro
I think those are most of the small cars from Europe between the mid-70s and the early 90s (probably missed a lot of them, VW Golf and Polo come to mind)

Fair enough, but I stand by my statement that the Kadett still doesnt look naturally ‘good’, like the CRX does.
well done!
)
build in Wales, a Kit Car, it’s rare.Well,I don’t expect more than that,right
