Their engineers already did it, but then the design guys took over and messed everything up. That's why super-aero, ultra-FE prototypes get watered down by the time they hit the production line: Someone says "Nobody's gonna buy an efficient, weird looking car. Let's turn it into a typical, ugly, inefficient gas guzzler and ask the government to lower gas prices. BTW, Big Oil: make your checks to..."
