I had not noticed the date of the article. Now it has me puzzled why a Ford aerodynamicists would be inadvertently praising GM's
Art & Science design path. I cannot think of a single Ford from that era that took a similar path and that includes the Fairlane concept or production Flex.

When the first-generation Cadillac CTS went on sale in 2003, the brand-revitalizing sedan incorporated a new design language that General Motors called "Art & Science." The idea behind the new design language was to ""incorporates sharp, sheer forms and crisp edges - a form vocabulary that expresses bold, high-technology design and invokes the technology used to design it." The design came with its own marketing campaign too, which brought many new customers to the Cadillac brand.

This design path is still evident in the current generation of Opel derived Cadillac's.
