Another comment, not to aero bash, just to inform.

Be careful with the boat tail trick. Many times this will make the car less efficient. Many of the aero scientists I have worked with really push for a 'chopped off' rear end to to help meet the aero requirements. They comment that several cars benefit from this. Examples they use are: Nissan 300 ZX, Honda CRX, Honda Insight, and Toyota Prius.

Again, I am just passing on info and not trying to discredit anyone.
