If GM's cfd lofting is so great, why does the Volt have such sucky drag in this day and age?

I always look at the front corners of the vehicle, where air flow is fastest and therefore drag per square inch is greatest of anyplace on the vehicle. If there are lumps & bumps or nooks & crannies there (as Volt has), it tells me the designers are pikers.
