"There is just one problem: the (optional) aggressive rear spoiler that does so much to upset the integrity of the rear end styling, lowers the drag co-efficient from 0.29 to 0.27 without impacting on downforce or reducing the 225km/h top speed. Efficiency or style? In this case we'd argue for style."

Did the writer just say it botches the rear end styling, then show us numbers that prove it's functional, then say it's there for style? I don't get it.
I think he's saying the rear spoiler ruins the styling, but is functional. If he was choosing between the two, he would pick style (i.e., he would not get the spoiler).
