The green focus pictured has a .32 Cd,* while the B class Mercedes has a .24 !

Amazing how different the drag figures can be despite having an almost identical shape !

* I saw some literature on this car when it first came out which listed the hatchback Cd at .36 . I remember this well because i was shocked at how bad it was despite looking 'right' from all the angles. The rest of the figures that I have seen are a more believable .32.
