I've been thinking about a front air dam, however this car already seems to have a spoiler below the grill. Also as regards a grill block, the car gets hot quickly... I have no problems at all in the winter keeping it warm, and I have to run the AC on at least half in the summer even on mild days to keep from sweltering in the dry engine runoff. I was looking through the wind charts thread and noticed that the 8th gen Corolla series has one of the least aerodynamic designs. But it has that precisely to provide for its beefy trunk. It's a great all-purpose vehicle.

I figure it could benefit potentially from a hybridization, which might get it 40-45 mpg. Would like to see this attempted because I don't think most will ever go for the hatchback design over the sedan on account of the trunk space. Perhaps it might do even better than a hatchback on account of its low stock weight (2500lbs) and high horsepower (140).
