The article stated that on the Honda Insight (a sort of 'hatchback') the vortex gens did not work when placed "the trailing edge of the rear hatch", and Their car had similiar results of increasing the fuel consumption of the car, just as Neil.
SO 2 questions.
1: Do Vortex Generators only work on 'sedans or coupes' when placed on the end of roof????
NOTE I: From my uneducated view; Hatchbacks seem to have a difficult time with Vortex Gens when placed on the top of the car
NOTE II: But under the Honda Insight they had better results in the handling department?? confusing article...
2: What about Vortex Generators under the bumper leading edge of the undertray as stated in the Second article: ' Blowing the Vortex, Part 4'
I am sure that they are reducing lift in the front and possibly back.
