From what I remember seeing on a video clip about the design of the Nissan Leaf, they were saying that the headlights were supposed to push air out and around the mirrors so they wouldn't cause as much noise, that act of pushing air out and around would cause a bubble of stagnant, quite air around the mirror but it would also increase the effective frontal area of the car.
I would hope that at some point someone might make new, after market front ends for the Leaf to give it a smoother front end, or maybe a Versa front end would bolt on?
