To this total novice aero DIYer, that looks like a wing for putting down pressure on the rear wheels. At the cost of a lot of drag.

Good news. I checked their site, and the "Hatch-mounted roof end spoiler" is not standard on the less expensive versions..

The Matrix body type does not generate lift.So since the up-kick on the wing would generate downforce,that type of wing becomes a solution for a problem the Matrix doesn't have.My guess is that it's a "Rally-inspired" concession to styling.If they make one ( as others have mentioned already ) that follows the original roof and side contour,that would be the one to go with.
