Vega wagon will fight you for such blasphemy.

What blasphemy?  Vega wagon looks perfect.

That Neon hatch looks like someone took a four door Neon and stretched it between the A and B pillars to stick a 2 door's door in there.  Then eliminated the rear door.  Proportions on it just look... weird.

 

I will, however, deduct four points for linking a park bench car.

FWIW the wheelbase, roof pan, backglass, and deck lid are identical between 2- and 4-door Neons.

I had my Neon parked nose to nose with my 3rd gen Camaro one day.  It was a bit jarring to look at, since the wheelbase on the Neon is three inches longer, the nose overhang about a foot shorter, and the back edge of the door (2door) is almost a foot farther from the rear tire.

I will try to take a picture sometime.  It makes both cars look weird.

That seems like a fairly obvious ripoff of the Jaguar XK-220.

The rear half looks a lot like the CERV III to me.

I do believe that there is a face swap. Jag and what, a Renault?

1906 runabout.  List price new was $445.

 

converted to today dollars it was around $12,500

Looks like a "build it yourself" design from the back of Boys Life magazine.
