To be fair, most of this drag will be below the centerline of the wheels, so a top 3/4 view will not reveal it.

I must admit I didn't pay much attention to the side of the car when I first saw it, it was the shape over the top and the rear hatch that caught my attention.

here's some better shots of the side and rear
