Nissan Leaf - 100% Electric car

[BrianG]

As far as aerodynamics go, Nissan is probably just trying for something a little sportier to appeal to the younger crowd. Let's face it, 99% of the general market hybrids are not very inspired in the design department. Hatchbacks in general are really bad though; my Mazda 3 hatch can attest to that. You know there are rear vortexes when you see the rear window get spattered instantly with water when the road is just wet (not actively raining). Nissan could probably have squeezed a little better aerodynamics out of the hatchback design by putting some kind of spoiler that channeled at least some air down the back window.
