You talking about the glass hatch? I've never cared for it. Visually, it makes the car look really ass-heavy. I personally prefer the more traditional roofline of the convertible.

The convertible looks like an Iso Griffo's plainer sibling.

That profile is pretty visually massive, on a relatively long rear overhang, significant sized quarter windows, the C-pillar that tapers at the top, and then a big wrapped-glass rear hatch... the back of the car is quite long.

Porsche 924/944 did it better... as did Porsche 928.

Plus, Interceptor was not the only Jensen model, and this new design is reportedly being called the Jensen GT. Even without the hatch, it still looks to have quite a long overhang, with the rear wheels much closer to the door shut line than the rear bumper.
