i think you meant it's a brick, right ? 0.360 drag is bad for this day and age I agree with you, but think of the possibilities in better aero cars.

In it's defence (Dacia Logan being made in Romania and me being from there ) this car is mostly designed for newly emerged markets let's say with a lot of pothole roads which is why it has high ground clearance (155mm) and it has quite a big trunk for it's class, it wasn't designed to break aerodynamic records but to haul large amounts of stuff / people around which I've seen it do remarkably well.

Some older model Dacia's have a reputation of motorised donkeys, take a look:
