Well, the model has tires, but the plane that intersected the model at that point went through the center of the car and not through the tires, so you couldn't see them. Either way, without rotation they're not too much good.

SW2010 would more than likely provide reasonable results, but I'm pretty new to it. It is a fairly popular program in the engineering community, after all, though I'm sure dedicated aerodynamics companies would probably export models to a more specific program.

As for your Insight, I'm not 100% sure. Do you have a link to your model? Also, you mentioned something about Pro/E. If it was modeled in there, how did you get the picture in the background? I fooled around with trying to find that for like 3 hours one day and couldn't find it.

I'll slap a cone on the end of my Civic for now and see what happens.
