At one point, I could not find any decent car with a stick that did not have some stupid spoiler on the trunk. Some salesmen trying to tell me it was cool. Maybe if I was so dumb as to be told what to believe.

Some 'wings' in that location were designed to channel air across the rear window. To clear road dirt and maintain visibility. And did not cost $400. Have not seen those for at least a decade.

Saw same thing on some mid-1990 Honda Civics. But never heard anyone call that a spoiler. Never knew that thing on a Juke also was a 'spoiler'. Reminds me of fins on 1957 Plymouths and Chevys. Well those owners got their fins for free.
