The term hatchback should not be confused with fastback or notchback. In its 1973 edition, "The Barnhart Dictionary of New English Since 1963" defines these last two terms as follows: fastback, an automobile with lines that slope down from the midsection to the rear in an unbroken curve; notchback, U.S. an automobile with a sloping or slanting roof and a pronounced rear bumper. 5, record 1, English, - hatchback%20car
