I'd have CFD for you, but I accidentally killed the power to my laptop before going grocery shopping - my laptop died mid calculation 
How's this picture?

Sorry,late to the party.I was looking at some of the "side-by-side"comparisons with the Prius and couldn't see the bottom of the tires very well.What I wanted to share,is that when scaling,it's important to match the height of the cars,as the cars fineness ratio is dependent upon it,and progressive roof curvature without separation,also a function based on height above the ground plane.
