IMHO the hybrid & EV vehicle niche will still get them. The more 'progressive' designs & shapes, ala the Prius, were to their marketing benefit. It became a design brand icon, that the enlightened buying public was looking for that recognizable aero template. EV1 & the Insight had fender covers that became their 'efficiency' badges. The mainstream consumers may bypass this aero device but FE buyers will recognize and choose these options.
