All true.

Another option may have been to copy the Insight front fender treatment, where there is a slightly widened approach on the front and a cutaway and rounded section behind the tire, with smooth "moon like" wheels. Of course, we don't really have any technical comparrisons to see how well the various approaches would work - that I am aware of.

I am immensely curious about the Insight treatment, if anyone has anything to offer
