The blunt rear end causes a low pressure air bubble behind it which may or may not increase drag. I believe the bubble helps out, because when mythbusters tested which is better, whether to leave the tail gate up or down on a truck for aerodynamics, they found that up was better because the low pressure air bubble that formed inside the bed helped direct air around the truck. Also, the drag on the sedan is the same as the LB so my guess is the air bubble is directing the air around the car.
