So here is a VALID real world issue.
First off I LOVE the car.
But...
What happens when you wash the car and the vents over the rear wheels fill with water? As we've discussed in other threads, the top vents appear to channel air out of the tail light vents. So after you spend hours washing the car then go drive it, all that water will drain out all over the back of the car.
No more drips from behind tail lights, but maybe worse.....

Since GM does real world testing which includes driving in rain and snow; I'm sure they've accounted for this. There are probably drain holes which direct the water to the bottom of the car.

Heh, that was my first thought after seeing all the vents. I love the styling and functional vent details, but couldn't help but think, despite all the drainage, there will be lots of places for water to collect and drip out while driving.
