You're not going to tell me that's an economical car, but I am glad to see that Ford engineers paid attention to aero details, even if the car as a whole is much taller, more square, and more capable than is needed.
According to certain people on this forum, the squareness of the front and the steep windshield don't matter. Aside from that, the horizontal roofline and square back are functional parts of the design. Ground clearance isn't much compared to real SUVs either. Seems like the perfect aerodynamic vehicle.
