stability = grip + downforce

what most people refer to as aerodynamic is low drag coefficent, which does not mean that there is downforce

planes are very aerodynamic, but they have lift or downforce only when they need it by way of flaps.


hence

aerodynamic =/= stable

Wait...so you're saying that you actually like the styling of the C30? To my eyes, it looks a lot like a Nissan Leaf from behind. Well, not exactly, but the general styling theme seems similar between the two cars. Sorry, but the back of the C30 would look better after being rear-ended by a truck.

Wait, I think it's the best looking compact out there...Leaf is so ugly, they made all those bulbous shapes at the rear for no reason.
