Great Post. The thing I notice about this though, is the boat tails sides are WAY, WAY, too aggressive, they shred air like crazy. Do people who make these shows read up on what they're doing before creating such junk? They left at least .15 worth of Cd on the table by bringing in the sides as quickly as they did.

They are under the stereotypical misconception that if you can just make it come to a point in the back....BAM! It's Aero Baby!!

Another point here is that a 1 ton Cube will out coast a 20 lb Perfect aero shape all day, every day. What did they do to the Prius to make it weigh the same as the Jeep? (I'm guessing nothing) They even say, "Even though this Jeep weighs thousands of pounds more it easily out coasts the Prius" ooops

Still though, they did something. And anything that gets us talking is a great thing!!

Thanks 3dplane!!!! Awesome Post!!
