Perhaps you can share some of your peer-reviewed professional papers from your vast library and archive.
No longer would you have to suffer the incoherent ramblings of the ignorant and uninitiated.
You pulled the "template" out of your butt. You can't just overlay a half teardrop shape on a car arbitrarily and claim that following that shape on part of the body is the optimal way to improve aerodynamics. It's just a crutch to avoid critical thinking.

The OP's images demonstrate perfectly how arbitrary this baloney is.


What matters here is whether airflow can stay attached to the rear window and depart smoothly when the body ends. Like I said... The air doesn't care about your "template".
