Yes, you are right. There are many "aesthetics" adds on cars that might make the things worst... I thought like this seeing elerons as extensions of SW...
But there are elerons that help even in that case:

This time, the apron on the bottom of rear glass, if long enough will make a difference (I think).
I think there are some other models where this apron will be less invasive and more effective than top roof kamm extension. I'm thinking on the work AndrzejM did and the shape of other models with a sport hatch (Citroen Xara, Opel astra G, Alfa romeo 146 and some other)

More, I hate the idea of template when taking about aerodynamics. There are so many alternatives, so why sticking with only one base profile..
