Back in 1983 I had a Ford Sierra company car, they had just come out and I found that overtaking big trucks on a motorway was a nightmare. It went back to the dealers and eventually Ford admitted that there was a design issue and that originally they wanted to put a rear spoiler on the car but the marketing guys had refused to allow it. The problem was eventually fixed by reducing the front tyre pressures and adding some plastic fairings around the rear windows ( I believe that they also changed the tyre and wheel spec in later models). The fairings weren't noticed by most people but made a lot of difference. If you look at the pictures below you will see the rear window fairings but if you look at the freelander there is a similar bump on the corner and I have often wondered if that it there for a similar purpose. Just a thought....
