This is one reason that I keep posting. You have been sucked in: you are working on the fallacious notion that the template = the lowest drag shape for a road vehicle.
That is simply not so:
I guess when the accepted - but incorrect - wisdom has been in place for so long, it's hard to see the wood for the trees.
Or do you really think the Honda Insight designers made some sort of concession to styling on the angle of the rear hatch? That
really they wanted a
larger wake to match the template - but stylists said no?
