At least, that is what I would expect someone to say that to me. I have yet to figure out what good that is supposed to do.

Since you posted those airflow pictures, you seem to be way ahead of me already, but just in case:

Have you used http://www.weirdcalculator.com/test/aero_template/? I use that so much that I bookmarked it. This is the one that I did most recently:

In my opinion, the Civic has a very good taper, but if you see how I extended the roof and trunk lines, the deck lid would need to be extended twenty-one inches for the air to reattach.

A Kammback would be great for your hatchback, but I do not think that anything else, save a [partial] boat-tail would be beneficial.
