Re the airflow point, many cars are indeed MORE aerodynamic than normal in reverse, particularly hatchbacks.
It's best to have a smooth, progressive tail to minimise flow separation at the rear of the car (think of an airfoil shape - quite blunt at the front, thin at the back).
Hatchbacks often have very flat rear ends compared to the front which usually has a more progressive slope. A famous example is the Austin Allegro, but it's actually quite common.
