Also, you can test airflow by using short lengths of string taped to the body. It's known as "tuft testing."

Rear corner airflow trip feature - permalink
Airflow along the side of a vehicle tends to follow the curvature of the tail lights and bumper part way around to the rear of the car, which can cause more drag than a sharp corner "crease" that promotes clean separation at the trailing edge.
GM designers integrated such a crease at the rear of the Chevy Volt "production" concept, a feature that could be retrofitted onto existing vehicles.
