Interesting -- I never realized that it was that low.

Aside from the sheetmetal and overall design, it has a partial undertray and other aero items: spats, etc.

When comparing it to the Integra (0.33 Cd), it seems to hold highway speeds with less throttle input, come to think of it. I just thought it was the throttle-by-wire being more efficient about it.

Too bad it has a huge 4 in it. BUT, better than the trend of having a 6-cylinder in this segment. They certainly had better not do that with the '09.
