Re the .85, .81 etc.
I have noticed that many car makers seem to be going in two directions: to give cars the "macho" look they tend to make them squarer (when seen from front)--think Hummmer and other SUVs. On other cars (and I suspect they'd be the wider and more luxury oriented cars), they seem to increase the amount of tumblehome.
I noticed that the Prius and Insight did not have much tumblehome, though they weren't perfectly square, either. I did the "reverse calcs" on both and found that .85/.85 calculated out as about right.
