Has anyone paid attention to the aerodynamics of the car? On a day when the car is wet but it has stopped raining, look at where the airflow hits the car, very efficient. Look at those two small puddles along the edge of the indentation on the hood where the airflow has been forced above. It sucks when youre trying to "speed" dry your car:-)

Yea, I finally learned how to brake QUICKLY to get the water to fly off the front of the hood, or just take a turn aggressively, works great. But, no matter how fast you go, the water will dance on the hood until persuaded to jump via braking or turning. The curves on this car are FINE!

The front end does a very nice job of curving the air so it arcs to the top of and over the windshield. Well designed car. ANyone have a video of wind tunnel testing?
