This has been discussed in many threads before, iirc. The seemingly backward shape is because of aerodynamic stability, at least that was the answer provided (cannot find the OP though), and I think it makes sense. Safety is always more important than consumption. Apparently having cargo box "normal way" makes it self-stabilize in a headwind the same way, as darts do.

... just my 2 cents.
