we are already starting to see this concave treatment of the truncation on hatch backs with their "visor" following the roof line to hang over the rear glass. And the sharp termination of the side lines at the rear bumper falling away at a sharp right angle to the "step" lift over area at the rear access.

*The important thing is that the separation line be transverse, and circular or elliptical.The Prius shown would not qualify.
The 2010 KIA Ray,PHEV concept would probably be good recent candidate.
*The concavity isn't important either.
*The ramp angle of the ring-vortex generator may be critical,although Morelli's research, as of 2000, is not mature enough to say.
