I would not be so sure. I recall when the VW Corrado was brought to the USA, VW changed the functioning for the rear spoiler so it would deploy at 55 mph, instead of the normal 90 mph in Europe. With our low speed limits, an auto spoiler that doesn't deploy doesn't do much for sales appeal.

Aerohead, I also find it interesting that more gain resulted from the tail work than from the front end work...
