Did you look at the video I did on the Porsche Cayenne, linked in the above post? They quote real data from a real car which supports what I said. (And of course, there are plenty of other examples of this on other cars.)
And streamline bodies cannot create lift? Unless you are using a unique definition of what streamlining comprises, streamline bodies can certainly create lift!
