I'm not giving Toyota a free pass on marketing fudge either! |
Yeah, as much as I love Toyota, something seems wrong there. I think they probably didn't test each version of the car. Instead, they probably thought that since the windshield was the same and the body was the same, the Cd must be the same. Hard to believe their engineers would allow that, but that's all I can come up with.
Regardless, the .30 that GM measured is probably wrong because that's way too much of a difference for just wide tires.
