The new Ram QUAD CAB has nearly the same Cd as the original 1994 Ram (not quad cab.) So what's so wrong with that?

They screwed up in 2008, obviously, with a .46x Cd, but they're trying to fix it this year while maintaining the same upbeat truck styling that has gotten them sales in the past. In fact, given the times, I'd wager that they're trying to style it for better sales than in the past, to help "make a comeback".

Isn't .4x average for a pickup truck of the full size variety?
