Otherwise the door glass will be replaced with flush perspex of sorts. Hence no opening Windows.
Weight wil be saved this way as well

Watched the EQXX. As of now I'm No sure how far I want to wander away from the original body lines. I do know the rear/wake plays a very important role.

The small frontal area of the gen 5 Civic seems a good start already... Slightly smaller than an insight.
You're the Captain on this one!
If elongation is out, I recommend a look at what Coventry University did with the Audi A2.
The USA version was Cd 0.288, and without adding a millimeter's worth of length, they got it down to Cd 0.204.
It's been posted here for many years at the forum. A SEARCH at the top of the page should produce it.
