I agree with your reading of why the sedan and wagon appear to have almost the same drag. The backlight on the sedan is at a terrible angle and surely there is separation and vortices... so bad maybe its as bad as the wagon...

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
