I'm an Ubuntu guy myself, but I'll use whatever is at hand Wish I could find a premade model for my corolla, it'd make designing mods a heck of a lot easier and I'd have some #s to to see if its worth the effort.

*edit* - found models, but they cost $. darn people wanting to be paid for their work
Many thanks for the exporter.
P.M. me about the Corolla model and what format you need it in. I have one that is similar to yours ( your generation I believe ), but not very accurate, but it can be tweaked.

I did a workaround and downloaded the demo of 3DS Max which exported .DWG files.
Then I checked here by chance ..and voila ! So, I haven't tried the exporter yet, but I'll let you know if it works.
Now all I need is a good CFD program that I can understand.
Have you used OPENFoam ?
