Although I will say- through conjecture- that since the Cd of the Gen 3 is actually better than that of the Gen 2 (AND better than most every other car on the road) that neither version is suffering from some glaring aerodynamic fault.

Well,

My boss's Lexus is a .25 Cd too. And it does not look anything like a Prius.

The CdA is going to be allot bigger in the 3rd Gen by the tire widths and wider body of the 3rd Gen. Because that difference is going to be bigger than .26 / .25 .
