Was reading interesting aerodynamic articles.

One auto magazine said the new spoiler on the electric Toyota RAV4 helped drop the Cd from 0.35 to 0.30 (along with the Korean-RAV4-sourced side mirrors).

I wonder how much of a Cd reduction the Scion xA's spoiler would provide?

Another magazine showed tests of a Telsa S front intake/fender aero mods - covering fog light area, front upper and lower intake areas. Essentially confirms what was found here - COVER THOSE FOG LIGHT CUTOUTS!! and partially tape over one of the two intakes in the center.

Those test results are in these 4 images here:
