Sunday evening I observed a very ugly vehicle parking on the street, but I didn't know what it was. Now I have come to learn it was a Nissan Leaf. I'm a "form should follow function" type of person, so I would give the hideous vehicle a pass if it had to look that bad for aerodynamic purposes, but with a Cd of .28, I expect a better looking car.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I believe my TSX looks quite nice, and it has a Cd of .27. How can an all electric vehicle with no radiator grill have a less efficient design than my car, which was likely designed primarily to look cool?
This car is certainly begging for a boat-tail, both aesthetically and aerodynamically.
