Nothing (mass produced) truly matches a teardrop of course. I've wondered for a while about nose shapes. Likely trade offs, involving style and safety not just aero, explain what auto designers obsess about. Some (few) vans fit the template better than most cars. It's not that ONLY rear aero matters. It's that in many (most?) cases rear is low fruit.
