Smile best aerodynamics?

I'm thinking about getting a replacement for my Impala for my 110 mile per day commute. I saw two vehicles at the car show last night that caught my eye.


Pulse


International MXT

Which do you think has the best aerodynamics?

(Just for reference, the little silver vehicle in front of the MXT is an Expedition.)

I'd go with the MXT, but without the bed cover. I bet it's bigger than the apartment I once rented. lol

I drafted one of those trucks once, because I was in a hurry and he was doing 85. Traffic split like the red sea.

He probably gets a $ 200,000 tax credit for owning it.
