In the above photo they do. I think that's just the angle though as a picture of the rear 1/4 of each doesn't really give a great impression of each, but the car's profiles all still have the same touches.

Swage lines below rear window to boot (except mk4/6), lower bumper has swage line from wheel arch to other wheel arch, lights all squared off until mk4, when they all sweep back towards the front of the car. Rear door shuts all "point" towards the rear where window meets metal. All have small little spoilers above boot glass etc etc.
