Wow that's brutal. This says that the drag is .30. Is that not better than most passenger cars on the road today? I thought .33 was pretty standard. It was designed for urban-centric lifestyle so I guess aero is not it's strong point. If you look at the pic it looks like it has a Flux Capacitor on it.
