Hey - it's understandable. I hardly believe it myself. If a box like that can have a Cd equal to that of a first generation Insight, why can't all cars have such a good Cd ?!
Another 'box' that comes to mind is the 1937 Tatra T77 with its upright windshield and rain gutters. point 212.




Sorry to steer this thread off topic. How is that Hyundai coming along ?

As i mentioned earlier, the LS430 had rounded flanks, yet still had good flow separation at the back. Apparently, your car does good with some help back there. It would be a shame to 'ugly' up your car, but buy using a strip of clear tape, you could make a trip strip at the tail end of the car just to see if it helps at all.
