Some rear aero bumpers

seeing more and more of these 'sharp' edged bumpers around on newer cars. seems to be the new 'in' thing.

That's a good thing too, since it results in a clean break for the air as it exits the back.

There are however anomalies, such as the Lexus LS-430, which has rounded edges to the back bumper. The LS-430 has a Cd of point 25.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
