Hi Noxman,
The Prius has a higher CD, because of the upright seating orientation. This is traditional with Toyotas (check out a Corrola), but even more so with the Prius, as there is less lay back room for the seats, due to the battery location behind the rear seat.
Additional issues are the rear-view mirrors and wheel openings.
Looking at that Probe IV picture, it does not seem to be very practical as its so low. They say that it has variable suspension height. Which then means the .152 Cd does not occure except on smooth roads.
I am not an expert on the terminology, and what constitutes a Laminar Flow vehicle, but would not Bajoos Aerocivic be Laminar Flow ?
