Yes, I've read that about the Mercedes E class. I kinda ignored fact that it ties or perhaps slightly beats the Insight Cd.
Do you have a link to discussion of E class underside?
I'm so interested in the potential aero effect of the Insight rear bumper because of all the discussion of boattails going on just now. "Simple" boattails get so long that I have concerns about their practicality regarding ground clearance. As I think you said earlier, the current thinking seems to be that rears should be square off sharply and perhaps that is correct. I'm certainly no expert.
