Agreed ... But I have not found other wind tunnel videos yet... although I have no doubt hours of such video exist from every angle ... until someone finds other videos ... all we can do is more cost effective things like the Tuft testing, and cost down testing.

Suggests the same thing to me ... which is what I would expect , given the shape of the side mirror ... but it is what people expect ... to have side mirrors ... and alternatives to keep the same functionality without the aerodynamic hit of the current design , would cost significantly more ... for a side mirror the current OEM design is not bad , and it is only a small % of the total vehicle frontal area.
