Or GM may have simply stretched the numbers, which incidently have been recently revised upward to Cd=.21.

Phil has offered us an analysis of what he is seeing on the EV1 and I'm certainly looking forward to that. I personally don't see the car as .21 when compared to the Insight 1 at Cd=.25, but I could well be wrong. The EV1 certainly has a couple of advantages.
