Lower Cd, but larger wake

How is it that cars such as the '92 - '95 Civics have a slightly higher Cd ( .32 ) in 2door sedan form over the .31 of the hatchback ?
Even though the airflow separates on the back of the sedan due to the steep angle of the window, I would think that the size of the cars wake would make up for this and lower the Cd.
