Honda city aero
Has anyone else noticed this cars interesting aero tail?
I like the styling of this car, well some parts in particular. It has a unique tail, it has a square edge all the way around kind of like a some models of corvette.
I can't find cd figures but surely must be below .3
Anyway I think it is a neat looking little car so i wanted to share

Do you get the City in NZ? They don't sell it in North America.
I agree the rear of the car looks clean - looks like they went for clean flow separation with sharp-ish creases on the trailing edges.
Reminds me that the first production sedan I saw with a similar trailing edge treatment was also a Honda:
Mid 2000's Acura here, Accord in the Euro market, I believe. |

Yeh I noticed it on the accords too, they have a nice rear end, but i wonder how functional it is.
Yep we get it, It isn't very popular though. They seem to be a good buy here

Every inch,or millimeter further back,the flow remains attached before flow separation the better.Also,allowing curvature back there can invite bi-stable flow,which adds drag,and noise due to turbulence.
