Initially, my plan is to just stick the tail on the Prius as-is (with any gaps filled in as required). I'll do a couple of runs to get some initial numbers and go from there.
But based on the effectiveness claimed for the other Gen 2 Prius tail we know about, I predict it will work better than it did on the Civic.

Here,Morelli has added a Kamm extension which modifies the angular greenhouse
upper edge into a softer radius,essential,he says,to get the 'fluid tail' to work.
This 2010 Kia Ray PHEV concept has the proper shape
