If you look at the car from the side and superimpose a Civic hatch over the two, you would find that the Cougar is almost a Civic hatch with a decklid extention set really low.
I have wondered for years about what the cars wake would look like.
I've seen this in my head, as well.

Anyone want to model it on that airflow mapper thingy program?
