So let me compare that VW Fox with the MX-3 . The VW Fox was certainly not designed for downforce !
You would think the MX-3 would be sleeker, right ?

Again,the VW (I believe) has the longer aft-body.It's aft-body aspect ratio is greater.This is the critical factor for low drag.This was at the central core of Kamm's/Fachsenfeld's research at the FKFS.
