@khyar is ansys fluent the easiest and best?

Nonetheless - nice inputting of the car profile. This is probably a good illustration of the flow at fast-walking speed.
If you want to get serious, have a look at ANSYS Fluent.

Reynolds number looking wayyyyyy too low. Also the true aerodynamics can never be captured in a 2D simulation (i.e. the helicity in the wake behind the vehicle).
Flow illustrator is a very basic 2D Navier Stokes solver written by Prof. Chernyshenko of Southampton Uni (UK) for the purposes of fun / educational illustration only. It does not feature any turbulence modelling or near-wall treatment etc.

what do the colors signify?

@DanFrederiksen Color indicates vorticity is above the threshold.

Thanks for the pointer to the 3D flow modeling software. This means I will need a 3D model of the 2010 Prius. Creating one will be a huge task for my skill. :)
