What do you mean by "squat?"

Are you referring to the tendency for these cars rear wheels to angle in at the top after a while? I've noticed this on a lot of cars and wondered about it. I've had people tell me this is normal.

It looks to me like it would have a adverse effect upon a lot of things, particularly tire wear.
