Thanks. A beautiful car indeed. Way ahead of its time aero wise. The Insight 1 is nice but not to the same standard - and I own one. Tragic that GM had no foresight.

I do have one technical question for you aero experts. In profile, the rear window looks too steep to maintain attached flow. Must be 20-25 degrees. How did they get away with that angle?
