They can beg and beg and beg for us to believe either one of them but it really doesn't matter. Sure one is more aerodynamic than the other but as soon as we drive in conditions other than a straight headwind, tailwind, or no wind, the results matter less. Did they test them from the side or any any other angle? Is the one that is the "most" aero from the front also the most aero from the side? So how come the...
