Toyota seems to think it can work when a diffuser is incorporated into it, and they have some of the best aero engineers in the world, I am sure. But you do not want a race diffuser, designed for reduce lift. That will also induce drag. You want a design angle that is quite a bit gentler. On my Civic coupe that meant 4* rise from behind the rear axle to the rear bumper cover. I cannot prove it works. I just know the science says it probably does, if I executed it well enough.
