Take a look at this Volvo concept:
You'll see this kind of tie-in on every recent Volvo - just not as agressive.
This one actually has a double horizontal tie-in (see lights + upper body).
Tie in the sides of the Kammback over the trunk - while keeping all the other angles.
The bottom left corner is now at the side of the trunk, but it doesn't reduce its wake area. While it angles in vertically, it doesn't do so horizontally, so the wake remains as wide as it was.
Nor does it reduce the wake of the "windowed" top part of the car much - its width stays essentially the same - only the roofline is lowered.
