Conforming to the template it would have a very similar shape as a Pruis in that back area. Maybe that's why they didn't do. Sorry, just thinking out loud.

I will bet you all three of my Hot Wheels AMC Javelins that it was done purely for styling.
I saw this at a recent autocross. Is there any advantage to putting the spoiler directly behind the window as opposed to on the trailing edge of the trunk?
