How is it that cars such as the Opel g90 ( point 22 .Cd ) the Ford Prodigy, and others such as Cadillacs can have a front end that literally has a completely flat front end with no curvature , and huge gapping grills as well, yet superb drag coefficients ?
Also, there are no wheel covers on their wheels ( which are also open spoked versus smooth. )

I don't understand.
