And Metro is right: tuft testing is as easy as taping 4-6" pieces of yarn to your rear hatch glass with masking tape, and looking at the results in the mirror. Check it out. |
Yea,
The 2006 has a Cd of .26, with a 5.83 CdA, while the 2010 has a Cd of .25 with a CdA of 5.84. Those CdAs are very approximate, using just height and width , and not a shaddow area. The 2010 has significantly larger mirrors, and wider tires (195s versus 185's).
