Lends a bit more interest in these babies.

Love to know if the motoring journo that wrote the Wheels write up expressing that "one is entitled to view the 0.29 Cd, in a Japanese wind tunnel, with suspicion" ever got to see these pages?

One car I enquired about some years back sitting on a front lawn in FWD version, all moistened up on the insides of the windows. The owners mum was proud to tell me he was now an aeronautical engineer. Never went back to find out how much, felt he was gonna ask buyer to assist with financing his latest rocket ship.

Looks like the FWD got the 0.29Cd and 4 WD got 0.31Cd
