Aerodynamics - New design cues!

The Grease Monkey is back after quite a while. And as u guessed, this has to be quite an interesting topic to be discussed otherwise why would the grease monkey be back instead of monkeying around!!
He found a great article on the recent design trends in cars based on the aerodynamic research which greatly interests and inspires the grease monkey. The article briefs on how the recent trend on edgy corners adds to the aerodynamic efficiency of the cars like the Volt's edgy rear corner that increases the turbulence at the rear creating lesser aerodynamic drag. The article also points out Toyota's "Aerocorner" design approach.
Happy reading!!
