It could have less drag overall but as I think metro said it would have alot more to do with the frontal area of the car(wheel base on the Ford might be a hair narrower) than with its aero properties as the traverse is obviously more aero friendly in shape.

But he says SHAPE. The shape is not more aero. < is aero, C is kinda aero, I. . .not aero.

If the volt were aero as possible it will look like a rain drop and have polymer riblet adhesive applied over its outer-layer of paint that will make it look funny. I feel like its going to look alot more like a Camaro than a rain drop. . .and I feel like its going to have shiny glossy paint rather than a matte polymer over-top of its paint.
