I stand corrected on the Cd of the iQ. I was going on my memory of an old thread here on EM, that stated 0.299:

The other cars I mentioned have better Cd than the Dart. I have ecomodded my Scion xA from 0.31 down to about 0.26-0.27, according to my coastdown test. I have done additional mods since then, but I had a badly dragging rear brake drum when I tried a second coastdown test. I know my car coasts very well.

If I can lower my drag by .04+, then so can Chrysler.
