Those are oversized aftermarket wheels and brakes, right? I hope yours have better aero than that.

The idea of a car with better aero backwards than forwards is amusing, but lots of wagons give that impression. Still, you wouldn't want a rear-engined car with four feet of cargo space in front of the dashboard, so that's why it's shape isn't the best aero.

Your hatch has a really nifty shape that you don't see much of anymore. Check out what Piwoslaw and MetroMPG have done with their similar-shaped hatches. I think it would bring excellent aerodynamic results with little impact on usability.
