Scion FR-S vs. Subaru BRZ (drag coefficient 0.27 - 0.29)

The following comes from the 2013 brochures.

The Scion FR-S has a Cd of .27 and no rear spoiler.



The Subaru BRZ Premium has a Cd of .29 and no rear spoiler.



The Subaru BRZ Limited has a Cd of .28 and comes with a rear spoiler.



Is it the difference in the front ends, or something else? The numbers don't make sense to me. Same EPA ratings.
