Actually, a brick has a lower drag coefficient than the PHUV.

Anyway, if you design all the curves and angles with no way of actually manufacturing those same curves & angles, it would just be a waste of time and money. So if the current manufacturing capability on hand is all flat panels and straight angles, then so be it.
