Default Flatter Doors?

The production car may have flatter doors than the concept, but it may just be an illusion (glossy paint, photo angles, etc.).
If it's not an illusion, and they really are going to be flatter (along with perhaps flatter quater panels), what is the reason for flattening the sides of the car? Is it to prevent lift or improve handling or ? I like the more tucked under look of the concept, but maybe there's a good enough reason for flattening them (hopefully only a little bit)...

Have you seen the actual production car? Perhaps if you can provide a photo (or at least a link) we can do some comparing...

This is all I could do... comparing the photo showing the rear of the production car (on an angle), and the concept car parked on the shoulder of the coastal highway...
