Yes,so many of these concepts died in the crib.The very fact that an idea got this far along does suggest that some designers are aware of the physics involved in efficiency.Especially in light of the upcoming 2025 CAFE standards for light trucks.And that's a consolation right there.
Mercedes has caught up to Ford's Cd 0.22 Probe concept of 1983.
It will be an interesting decade to watch.
