Not vanagon talk of course... the Splttie has less front area for sure .. but that vent built into the top of the windshield.. sure looks like serious drag there to me. the very best VW van aerodynamics I know of is the Adventurewagon with the pointy back end on the high roof. Dead smooth through the air , nobuffeting in still air .. and strangely quite inside too. well ...since Iwrote 'vw van' .. Eurovans finally moveupto the era of flush windows ... they probably have quite good aero, for a van.
