Does "duck like" refer to the car's err...bum? As in a waddling appearance?
Some cars seem to have enough space on their boot lids to land a chopper (great for boot carrying capacity no doubt) while others have tight pert rears. Some may say too chopped off. Beauty...eye of the beholder...all that stuff. Your choice.

I've always though that the hardest part to get absolutely correct is that portion from twelve o'clock on the rear wheel arch to the rear of the car. Too "cut in" and it looks skinny and unbalanced. Too flared and it looks like a windsock or one of those hideous Jap body kits the ricer boys use to disguise drift damage. But get it right, with the right size tyre filling the arch and there's not a better shape in the automotive world.

As for the difference between the FF5 and Box's car, well one's silver and one's... umm mustard or ochre or perhaps Olgas Orange or even Uluru Umber depending on the time of day and where the sun is in the sky.
