It's really funny they care about aerodynamics so much because the mileage on some of these cars is just truly awful. We could have cool looking cars that aren't aerodynamic but they wouldn't be as good at crushing pavement and plowing children..
they don't really care that much, just enough to hit the legal bare minimum to keep making bigger SUVs than last year. If they actually cared about efficiency we'd all be driving these.
I think a more realistic idea of what everyone would be driving if everyone actually cared about maximum efficiency would be the 1st generation Honda Insight, a car famous in the hypermiling community for its efficiency.
if we truly cared about efficiency we'd be riding recumbent pod bikes mostly. Most efficient machine ever made babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
electric velomobiles ftw
I don't think making a car entirely out of coal and glue is super efficient...
