The boxfish prototype has a drag coefficient of .19! If Mercedes was too scared to build it, they should've given, or at least offered to license the design to Smart.
Id buy a boxfish design .. i dont think its ugly.. looks like cash in my pocket from gas savings... if it were low cost and efficient.. build it for the price of a accent gets 50mpg.. they would sell like hotcakes.. hell looks better than a prius to me..
