This thread started with the statement that 0.3CD is about where the state of the art is for modern cars.
Maybe in Detroit it is, but not in Stutgart or Bavaria.
I'm a merc man (afforable in europe) and can hand on heart post the following
1988 W124 Merc: 0.3CD
1996 W210 Merc: 0.27CD
2002 W211 Merc: 0.27CD
2010 W212 Merc: 0.25CD
2010 W212 Merc Coupe: 0.24CD
I beleive MB are aiming to get their fleet down to around 0.2CD.. helped by their boxfish study.
I beleive BMW with their efficient dynamics is looking to do something similar.
And where MB and BMW go, others inevitably, eventually, follow.
