I've noticed a lot of Toyota Yarises (Yarii? Yarum? Yarisitachi? "Yaris Yaris"? It's like Indonesian; you double up the noun to pluralize it.) with a spoiler on the rear hatch. Not the typical way-up-there-and-ravage-the-airflow spoiler, but more like a roof extension:

They give the rear a small Kamm effect:

I've seen so many of them in Europe that I'm starting to think they are OEM, yet not all Yarises (Yarii? etc....) have them.
