People don't change.

It only took 10:29 to burn my dinner.

I think I punched in 4000 on the microwave.

Anyway, I assert you have fallen into the same pitfall as others. Nobody looks at the front view with it's hemicircular profile. It's as hard and fast a rule as the profile. It makes it a proper windshield header for side-by-side seating difficult. VW Beetle has an optimal profile with a flat windshield for optical clarity (ignore the blind spots behind the A-pillars).

Anyways, I made an argument for a superelliptic profile here. I noticed that Blender's geodesic generator has superilleptic options. Maybe I should revisit that.

edit:
I found Ducted radiators for low drag more helpful.

So what do you think of the difference between a velocity driven radiator system vs a power-driven fan and air cooling? IIRC VWs boxer four had 1500cu ft/min displacement to work with.
