They all have one thing in common, the rear end sticks out too far, way too far, which spoils the look of any car. Does my bum look big in this?

Aside from the complaint about steatopygian bums, I think they look pretty good! If you follow the link you may find at least a couple that don't have as great a development 'back there'.
