Whether a rear spoiler can reduce drag and lift has never been a bone of contention.

Gosh it's hard to keep up. One moment a spoiler will add drag, and the next moment, it won't!
Soon we will be back to your completely incorrect theory of how rear spoilers work on modern cars.
Ah, here it is.

Going back to Hucho, simply lofting the vehicle's rear profile to where you'd terminate an add-on spoiler, would in all likelihood, produce even more favorable results.

How did you go with the reference I cited on how spoilers reduce drag and lift on fastbacks? I can tell you one thing: it is not at all as (you think) Hucho stated it back in the 1980s.
