I've run this image here before I think, but look at it in the context of what you said above.
Jaguar XK
Blue = thrust
Red = drag
Green = neither lift nor drag
Now we can't see the stagnation zone at the front of the car, nor the base area in the wake at the back (and both will be red), but you can see why car makers try to optimise front curves to give thrust.
