Same car? Could improved aerodynamics play a part?

I noticed the effect motorcycling. With an aerodynamically unchanged helmet and headlight, riding mainly naked bikes.

Last time I saw this crop up in a thread another comment claimed they actually were using the same car.

Maybe 50 years of these rivers of metal boxes reliably taking out trillions of insects yearly has played a part too.

I also observe less insects on my windshield, same car as 25 years ago.

Might be it.. Ford Mondeo back then and an Opel Meriva today.
