Thanks and Hi.
I mentioned that I saw a post by an RAV4 owner .. which I'm sorry I
can't find again now. He had inputted only, I believe, the frontal
area, and a side view (I think) and he got a value for CD of about ( I think)
0.39 which was nearly identical to the published spec. That's when I
got excited that he could get good data from little input.
Anyway if I find the link, or if you happen to know it, it will be posted here.
Thanks and enjoy the fun
