What is claimed: 1. A vehicle having a rear end body structure, comprising: a first rear side structure having an upper mating feature that includes: a first surface, a second surface disposed opposite the first surface, first and second joint surfaces that extend from the first surface to the second surface, the first and second joint surfaces extending substantially along first and second planes, respectively, that intersect with each other, a connecting surface extending between the first and second joint surfaces, and a channel for receiving an adhesive, the channel being disposed inside the upper mating feature between the first and second joint surfaces and spaced apart from the connecting surface; and an upper frame structure having a first lower mating feature; wherein the first upper mating feature interlocks with the first lower mating feature free of welding. 2. The vehicle of claim 1 further comprising a closure structure having a first set of integral hinge features, wherein the upper frame structure at least partially defines a closure opening and further comprises a second set of integral hinge features disposed proximate the opening, wherein the closure structure is pivotally attached to the upper frame structure via the first and second set of hinge features. 3. The vehicle of claim 2 wherein the closure structure at least partially defines a trunk lid. 4. The vehicle of claim 2 wherein the closure structure at least partially defines a hatchback lid. 5. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the first rear side structure and the upper frame structure are made of a magnesium alloy. 6. The vehicle of claim 5 further comprising a second rear side structure and a rear frame structure having first, second, and third frontal mating features disposed along a first surface; and wherein the first and second rear side structures further comprise first and second rear mating features, respectively; and wherein the upper frame structure further comprises a third rear mating feature; wherein the first, second and third frontal mating features interlock with the first, second and third rear mating features, respectively. 7. The vehicle of claim 6 further comprising a rear closure having a first hinge portion, wherein the rear frame structure further comprises a closure opening and a second hinge portion disposed proximate the closure opening, wherein the rear closure is pivotally attached to the rear frame structure via the first and second hinge portions. 8. The vehicle of claim 6 wherein the first, second, and third frontal mating features and first, second, and third rear mating features have a dovetail configuration. 9. The vehicle of claim 6 further comprising an adhesive for bonding and sealing the first, second and third frontal mating features with the first, second and third rear mating features. 10. The vehicle of claim 1 wherein the first upper mating feature is disposed on and spaced apart from edges of an upper surface of the first rear side structure. 11. A vehicle having a rear end body structure, comprising: first and second rear side structures having first and second upper mating features disposed on first and second upper surfaces, respectively; and an upper structure having first and second lower mating features; wherein the first and second upper mating features interlock inside the first and second lower mating features, respectively, to secure the upper structure to the first and second rear side structures; and wherein the first upper mating feature has a male dovetail portion that includes a channel that extends through the male dovetail portion such that the channel is spaced apart from external surfaces of the male dovetail portion that are disposed adjacent to the first lower mating feature when the first upper and lower mating features are interlocked. 12. The vehicle of claim 11 further comprising: a rear structure having first, second, and third rear structure mating features disposed along a first surface; wherein the first and second rear side structures further comprise first and second rear mating features, respectively; and wherein the upper structure at least partially defines a roof and has a third rear mating feature; wherein the first, second and third rear structure mating features interlock with the first, second and third rear mating features, respectively. 13. The vehicle of claim 12 wherein at least some of the first, second and third rear structure mating features and the first, second and third rear mating features have a dovetail configuration. 14. The vehicle of claim 12 further comprising an adhesive for bonding and sealing the first, second and third rear structure mating features with the first, second and third rear mating features. 15. The vehicle of claim 12 wherein the first and second rear frame structures, rear structure, and roof structure are castings made of a magnesium alloy.
