thanks
Are they really VGs,or could they just be some styling gimmick.Even in aviation,where VGs originated,they were never applied to a trailing surface,as there's nothing back there to re-attach to,which is the purpose of a VG leading a flap or aileron, at very high angle of attack.I think,since Soichiro died,HONDA has lost some of it's compass.
