perhaps my statement was a bit off, but still
there's two things wich bother me about the lancers basic geomerty and that's that the window is very steep and the trunk is relatively short. overall the design looks rather dated to me. most sedans i see today seem to have much more gentle curved windshields and better windsield/tunklength ratio. i wonder how effectice they are on cars where flow separation is minimal of where the flow can reattach to the trunk. especially when compared to a reshaped back where this sepparation would not occur and where there's no energy loss due to the energy needed to make te vortices
