Well I did say "it seems" and "not much"
but hey I welcome anything that will prove me wrong!

It would be IMHO that MAINSTREAM automotive manufacturers in fact did not focus much on aerodynamics much until very recently (in the 60-70 year perspective) and that we only in the past decade or even less(?) have begun to see vehicles that have more "extreme" aerodynamics (as the VW above) as potential mass-production vehicles and not just some proto for some fancy showroom floor?
Not sure if you're asking why *I THINK* this is the case or *WHY* I think this *IS* the case?
Now if you're asking WHY I think this IS the case, I guess the obvious would be the current concern for energy costs and the fear of certain energy forms not being available in "unlimited" qty as we might have looked at it in the past.
