I have been noticing this too, particularly on the Honda Fit where there is an "Aero Kicker" type of taper at the end. I wonder if it isn't a feature that does what everyone
Thinks air tabs and vortex generators are supposed to be doing, which is to fill the wake area more quickly.
It seems that the extra drag created by going "Sub Template" is made up for by decreasing the size and turbulence in the wake. I have noticed this same feature on a modern Sprinter based RV as well.
