Question 'A 'pillar vortex on new cars like Prius / Fit

I have never seen a tuft test on newer cars such as the 2nd generation Prius or Fit which have very little angle variation between the hood and the windshield angle.
Anyone here with one of these cars care to do a test and post the results ?

I'm curious about the flow around the A pillar, so the test could be a simple one - just apply tufts to the side glass around the A pillar and snap a picture.
No need to tuft any more of the car than this ( although you could do the other windows - especially the back one )
It could be done with one person just observing the results as you drive.

Just courious if there is less of an A pillar vortex verus traditional cars.
