It's instructive to observe other vehicle's front wheelwells in the rain. You can see a forward rolling, outward expanding mist, but it varies from vehicle to vehicle. Ecomodders like to speculate about directional vanes in the hub, but fact is the skin friction on the tire is more effective. See
Tesla Turbine.
Considering who's in the thread, and speaking as a VW Beetle owner, I'd like to say "Boat-tailed Civics/Insights are awesome."
