Butt Doubles

I should start out by saying that I don't find the new Chrysler 200C to be an ugly car. It's sleek and has lots of interesting details, especially up front. The only problem is that it looks a bit anonymous, something I've especially noticed when seeing them in public. It tends not to shout at you visually like butch 300C, but blends in the background in a sea of mid-size sedans.



I find this especially true of the rear end, whose treatment looks like any number of near-luxury Japanese cars I'm sure it was trying to ape (as well as many other common mid-size cars who may be trying to do the same). 

So I thought I would use this post as a bit of a quiz.  Below are images of the butts of few common cars, badging removed.  Can you pick you the 200C?  The winner will get my unending admiration.  Bonus points for anyone who can name them all correctly (bonus points are worth even more unending admiration).
