Hi,

I wonder why the Honda Insight II went from 0.28 up to 0.32? They don't offer the fancy wheels, do they?

I thought I heard that the mirrors used to be ignored for the frontal area (on all cars?) so maybe the "old" methodology also left them of for the Cd tests? Or, may they (Honda and Toyota) tested an earlier prototype, and covered the difference in the CYA "we reserve the right to change without notice..."?
