I belive this is fear for the unknow among the industry.... Areodynamic cars with good milage could be far more popular to the people than the industri thinks.

With this kind of fear/ feetdragging it will take decades to get fuel effecint cars. Besides - Areo is by far the cheapest way to get FE for the industry, at I "only" involves changing the bodywork from one shape to an other, which is same prices for any model, as it only has to be made to the moulds from the beginning.
