I'm guessing the rear is flat because with the well-curved edges of the roof, it would be difficult to bend the solar cells over a compound curve. The Aero Civic seems better executed aero wise. I wonder if it's the front end that's holding it back?

The rear of the strakes and whatnot actually looks like it might have attached flow. The surfacing is sub-par though. But I can't complain. I'm not much better than 0.3 Cd.
