The point of the GT's is not just to give you a larger boot/trunk aperture, it's to give all of the occupants of the car more space, hence the longer wheelbase and increased roof height, combined with easier access and improved visibility thanks to the higher ride height.
To make the GT's basically like the saloons with a swoopier roof would have meant style before substance, and that would have rendered them pointless.
The GT's are about practicality, not about being sporty. The Audi A7 is only a tiny bit more spacious than a 6GC, the 5GT is alot more spacious than an A7. If you want style, buy a Gran Coupe, if you want comfort and space, buy a GT... it really is as simple as that.
