The hatchback grille is partially blocked, and interestingly, the amount blocked varies depending on whether you get the CVT (more cooling needed) or the 5-speed.
Mitsu reports a Cd from 0.27 to 0.31 for the hatchback, depending on options.
They say the sedan is 0.29
Here's a pic of the sedan's maw, lightened to show the open/blocked areas (inside the green lines is open):
Like the hatch, there are also plastic undertrays on both sides in the middle of the car, looking forward:
But the sedan gets a small rear undertray on the non-muffler side too:
One thing I noticed driving the car on the highway on a windy day, it moves around a fair amount on the road. Aero effect or just the light curb weight?
