You would think so wouldnt you with the addition to the newer cars from the dealer. They must think it does something. 
Have a look on MLR I am sure you will get a decent explanation on there mate.

They will make a slighy difference im sure, but not one you will notice from drivign it with and without though, and they are there because they look cool mainly.
Thats my opinion, but the MLR might shed more info on it (although more likely just a load of marketing speel, lol)

Concorde would not have ever been able to fly without a small(12" Long)Alloy votex generator on each side of the cockpit...

Its an expontional response, at 70mph, they are going to do NOTHING, at 140 I doubt they are enough for you to notice if you drove the car with and without, at Mach2, im sure they do loads!

PassionFord Post Whore!!
I lost mine on the A1 going rather fast 
They are meant to disturb the air over the rear spoiler, Chip very little on an Evo is there for the sake of it so i doubt that Mitsu have just stuck it on for the sake of it, but how much difference you can notice , who knows maybe you would notice it and i would not subjective i would imagine

"Oh my god, the car has just become mega unstable, whats that sudden dramatic difference?"
Or were you

I got hold of some Japanese SARD universal ones actually. Prob wont look right on the Chaser tho.
On the back of the packet the diagram shows what they meant to do...

hmm if i can find the site i used to research these things i'd send it, but basically they REDUCE DRAG ignore all that crap about downforce.... although they do increase downforce due to more air getting to-and over the rear wing 
v effective... may be seeing a lot more of these on hot hatches in the very near future

just finding my feet
it looks like someones put a spike strip on the roof of the car
im all for downforce/performance enhancement but i dont wanna drive to work in a car that was modeled on hellraiser

therefore it dips lower, quicker into the ditch that the rear window has between that and the bootlid
therefore theres less of a lower pressure area here, and more air gets "sucked" down over the top tip of the rear spoiler
therefore more clean air there=more rear downforce
+less of a total pressure difference/vaccum between the rear window and bootlid= less resistance (i forgot the word
) ermyea, so higher top speed AND more downforce... by adding little amounts of (resistance) forgot the word again GRR
