Abstract

See full text

In certain example embodiments of this invention, there is provided a grille for a vehicle (e.g., a car, truck, SUV, or the like). In certain example embodiments, the vehicle grille includes adjustable louvers. In certain example embodiments, the louvers are configured to change position relative to the grille (e.g., to rotate, slide, or otherwise move) when a predetermined condition is met (e.g., vehicle speed above/below a predefined threshold, wind speed above/below a predefined threshold, etc.). This configuration advantageously may result in better vehicle performance (such as, for example, better fuel efficiency), e.g., related to less drag and/or improved aerodynamics.
