Hi azrael...,

Thanks for the Prius model.

The flow off the top, and off the bottom look very balanced. Possibly there is more flow coming up from below, and going turbulent. My car always has a dirty rear window undeneath the hatch spoiler. That seems to support the model results. Possibly a linear difusser, and a shallow angle might help that.

The car has very poor flow out the wheel well vents. And the hatch fogs up easily, and takes along time to defog. So, this also supports that the flow from underneath the car is stalling.
