in respons to the semi focus sketch in the pdf, i think it's just a generic car based on a focus picture they had laying around, to get the proportions somewhat right.
it's probably there to establish what a "grill" for those who have missed the evolotion of transportation since the horse drawn cart went out of fashion.

True, but i assume that in an age where carmakes (over here in europe at least) are bashing eachother over the head with eco, green, etc... models and low coČ emissions are the new horsepower (because they usually mean you can tax reductions or whatnot on such a model, making it cheaper to buy so you can blow your savings right away on expensive options that will kill your FE) it would be smart to build something that actually works, especially since you own the pattent so others can't copy it.
than again, if you have a windtunnel it seems that it's rather easy to build such a grille so perhaps a lot of "grilles" especially these new slender ones like on lets say cars like the prius to name one, act like that.
