The 2nd Gen SC1 has a 0.33 Cd and can get down to 0.31 with the SC2 spoiler (that's the theory, anyway) :
The 2nd-gen sedan is also sub-0.32 Cd.
I don't think you could reach 50 MPG on an average basis, unless you have the manual tranny and *ideal* commuting conditions. Before diamondlarry got a Prius he averaged 50+ MPG in his S-Series sedan, but he learned at the feet of Wayne Gerdes, hypermiler extraordinaire. If you are in Canada, then you should be able to get the OEM grill-block-heater option, which will especially help your winter MPG.
